How to send email by windows powershell

The example below is built to run on gmail accounts.

Step 1:
Create a powershell file named as send_email.ps1 (you can simply create a new text file and rename it as send_email.ps1).

Step 2:
Open the send_email.ps1 file and paste the following and save it:


function fnSendEmail($Too,$Filee)
{
$smtpServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$att = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($Filee)
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer, 587)
$smtp.EnableSsl = $true
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("your-email@gmail.com", "your-password");
$msg.From = "your-email@gmail.com"
$msg.To.Add($Too)
$msg.Subject = "powershell test"
$msg.Body = "This is a test email with an attachment"
$msg.Attachments.Add($att)
$smtp.Send($msg)
$att.Dispose()
}

Step 3:

• Start windows powershell 
• change the directory to where the send_email.ps1 file is located (pls see the line 1 in the screenshot below)
• call send_email.ps1 file (pls see the line 2 in the screenshot below), like that, one can use the fnSendEmail function in it
• call fnSendEmail function by passing to parameters (recepient's email address and the full path of the file to be attached) (pls see the line 3 in the screenshot below)
