ImageMail

ImageMail.py

# Example for sending an email with an attached image using smtplib
# 
# IMPORTANT: You need to enter your email login in the main() function.
#            The example is prepared for GMail, but other providers
#            should be possible by changing the mail server.

Great piece of code but I keep on getting a username and password not accepted error. I know they are right because they are copied and pasted from lastpass which I use all the time. I have set Gmail up to accept less secure apps but that hasn't helped either. Any thoughts anyone?
