Hi Christian,

I’m having trouble installing the BaseX email module. The install appears to succeed but then the module is not available.

BaseX 8.4 beta 2fabc36 [Standalone]

Try 'help' to get more information.

> repo install http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/email/EMail.jar

Package 'http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/email/EMail.jar' installed in 1556.4 ms.

> repo list

Name  Version  Type  Path

-------------------------

0 package(s).

After attempting to install the module, when trying the email.xq example there is an error message “[XQST0059] Module 'http://basex.org/modules/email/EMail' not found.”

Does the email module work with current versions of BaseX?

Also, is it possible to send HTML formatted email with images using the email module?

Thank you,

Vincent

Hi Tim,

We have implemented an XQuery/Java e-mail module quite some time ago,
which we are using in various commercial projects. The main reason why
we didn't make it public yet is that we didn't have time to document
it properly. I have just uploaded this module, and you can install it
via:

repo install http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/email/EMail.jar

The jar file contains two simple example for sending mails (in the
xquery sub-directory).

Looking forward to your feedback.
Christian
