Aegis Implicit Mail (AIM)

Aegis Implicit Mail is a free and open source library which is designed to provide fast and developer friendly API to send emails using SMTP ports.

Why AIM

Sadly, Microsoft.Net.Mail Ssl Mails does not support Implicit Ssl Mail and it is still used by many servers, including port 465 of Gmail here AIM comes to make a readable and fast alternative to send your smtp mails.

Write the code!

If you want to have a sample SMTP mailing, you can write your program exactly like the way you write using System.Net.Mail

 private void SendEmail()
 {
     var mail = "you@gmail.com";
     var host = "smtp.gmail.com";
     var user = "yourUserName";
     var pass = "yourPassword";
     
     //Generate Message 
     var mymessage = new MimeMailMessage();
     mymessage.From = new MimeMailAddress(mail);
     mymessage.To.Add(mail);
     mymessage.Subject = "test";
     mymessage.Body = "body";
     
     //Create Smtp Client
     var mailer = new MimeMailer(host, 465);
     mailer.User= user;
     mailer.Password = pass;
     mailer.SslType = SslMode.Ssl;
     mailer.AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationType.Base64;
     
     //Set a delegate function for call back
     mailer.SendCompleted += compEvent;
     mailer.SendMailAsync(mymessage);
 }

 //Call back function
 private void compEvent(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.UserState!=null)
         Console.Out.WriteLine(e.UserState.ToString());
     
     Console.Out.WriteLine("is it canceled? " + e.Cancelled);

     if (e.Error != null)
             Console.Out.WriteLine("Error : " + e.Error.Message);
 }

As you might be familiar with System.Net.Mail, we have four important objects in sending mails:

Mail Message
Addresses
Attachment
sender

For each mail you need to generate mail message,

Set addresses
Add attachments
Send it using a smtp sender

AIM uses the same architecture. We have normal (mime) Mails and smime Mails that can be in a plain sender or Ssl Sender in addition Ssl Sender can be implicit and explicit.
