Sending emails in Node.js? [closed]

Question

Nodemailer is basically a module that gives you the ability to easily send emails when programming in Node.js. There are some great examples of how to use the Nodemailer module at http://www.nodemailer.com/. The full instructions about how to install and use the basic functionality of Nodemailer is included in this link.

I personally had trouble installing Nodemailer using npm, so I just downloaded the source. There are instructions for both the npm install and downloading the source.

This is a very simple module to use and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to send emails using Node.js. Good luck!

node-email-templates is a much better option: https://github.com/niftylettuce/node-email-templates

it has support for windows as well

Check out emailjs

After wasting lots of time on trying to make nodemailer work with large attachments, found emailjs and happy ever since.

It supports sending files by using normal File objects, and not huge Buffers as nodemailer requires. Means that you can link it to, f.e., formidable to pass the attachments from an html form to the mailer. It also supports queueing..

All in all, no idea why nodejitsu ppl chose nodemailer to base their version on, emailjs is just much more advanced.
