Qml: sending email with Qt.openUrlExternally

QtTuomi

Hello everybody,

I'm new to Qml and I'm trying to write an app, which should send an email when clicking a mouse area. This is, what I have already written:

@
// import QtQuick 1.0 // to target S60 5th Edition or Maemo 5
import QtQuick 1.1

Rectangle {
id: rectangle1
width: 360
height: 360
MouseArea {
id: sendButton
width: parent.width/2
height: parent.height/2
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
onClicked: {
Qt.openUrlExternally("mailto: to@adress.com" +
"?subject=This is a subject" +
"&body=This is the message")
}

    Text {
        id: textSendeMail
        text: qsTr("Sende Mail")
        font.family: "MS Shell Dlg 2"
        anchors.fill: parent
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
        font.pixelSize: 16
    }
}

}
@

Now, when clicking this area, Outlook starts. I mean, this is clear, as the name says to open the url externally. But is there a way to send an email directly, without opening Outlook.

I wrote such a function in C# already, maybe it would be easier to understand, what I mean, when I just show you the C#-Code:

@
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.Subject = "This is the subject";
message.Body = "Here is the message";
message.From = new MailAddress("noreply@myaddress.com");
message.To = new MailAddress("destination@address.com");
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(ip);
smtp.Send(message);
@

The QtQuick module itself doesn't provide any support for this. There are a number of plugins available, including a Messaging plugin (see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/qml-plugins.html for the list of plugins), though from a quick look it appears it only supports reading messages. If that is the case, you might need to write your own C++ plugin to handle this functionality.
