Sending data over the internet

[mannu]

Hey.

I am working on a symbian application which requires that the data which is captured by the application (text, photos) has to be sent to an email id using the internet services available on the device. Please suggest a method as i have no clue how to go about this.

You should use "Qt Mobility":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/messaging.html messaging API. An example with Qt Mobility 1.1 from Nokia Developer could be found "here":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Send_a_new_email_in_Qt.

If the same code is used from a desktop application, will it still work??

That's the idea of Qt: Deploy everywhere :) Check compatibility of "Qt Mobility at the official documentation":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/index.html#platform-compatibility. Regarding desktops messaging runs on Windows and Linux.

Okay. Cool. I tried to run this code in my application but i didn't receive any email. I used this to send an email a gmail id. The thing is, is it just this easy to send a email using an application bcoz at this rate thyere will e loads of spams and a company like google would have clearly prevented such type of spam. Has it worked for you?? please do let me know
