Hello,
I would like to be able to send e-mail from a Web app I am developing in BaseX and was wondering whether anyone else had implemented this functionality (or whether a BaseX e-mail module might be in the works?).
I see that Zorba has an e-mail module with support for SMTP and IMAP (not to mention many other useful modules), which leads me to wonder whether anyone has worked on a BaseX connector for Zorba.
In the meantime, I decided to try using the BaseX process module to call Zorba, like so:
proc:system( 'zorba', ( '-q', convert:binary-to-string( db:retrieve( 'out', 'email.xq' ) ) ) )
I stored the XQuery code for Zorba as a raw file in the BaseX database, since storing it in the webapp directory caused an error, due to the unrecognized Zorba module declarations. This approach seems to work adequately, but does anyone have any suggestions for improvement, or a different approach?
Thanks in advance, Tim

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 ___________________________________

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 Vincent,
I'm sorry, we have no time to provide better support for this module. Maybe you can take advantage of the source code that I referenced in an earlier reply? It should be pretty straightforward. Maybe you could build an updated module and provide it back to the community?

Hi Christian,
I might be able get it working. The link you mentioned isn’t easily findable in the list archive. Where is the source of the email module located?
Thanks, Vincent
