I am having difficulty creating the Message object using mailkit so I can add the From, To, Subject and body with message that may have attachments to be send before disconnecting. I have created the MailKit object, Cancelation Token object. I am able to load the MailKit and MimeKit dlls using the add-type -path and I am able to connect, authenticate, Disconnect and Dispose but the message object creation part and sending is where I need help with. I have the following:
$MkSmtp = New-Object MailKit.Net.smtp.SmtpClient
$CanToken = New-Object System.Threading.CancellationToken ($false)
$SSL = [MailKit.Security.SecureSocketOptions]::SslOnConnect
$MkSmtp.Connect($MailServer, $Port, $SSL, $CanToken)
$MkSmtp.Authenticate(([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8), $Username, $Password, $CanToken)
#$Message = New-Object ????
$MkSmtp.Send($Message)
$MkSmtp.Disconnect($true)
$MKSmtp.Dispose()
I thought the answer was:
$Message = [Mimekit.MimeMessage]::new()
$Message.From.Add($From)
$Message.To.Add($To)
$Message.Subject = "Test"
$TextPart = [MimeKit.TextPart]::new("plain")
$Body = "This is just a test"
$TextPart.Text = $Body
$Message.Body = $TextPart
Which came from https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSGSuite/2.13.2/Content/Private%5CNew-MimeMessage.ps1. This worked on my developer machine but putting it to production yields the following error:
Method invocation failed because [MimeKit.MimeMessage] does not contain a method named 'new'
When it tries to go passed the following line:
$Message = [Mimekit.MimeMessage]::new()
Placing a breakpoint at this line after loading the dll via add-type and running "[MimeKit.MimeMessage] | Get-Member -Static" on the powershell command line on the development and production server it shows the following:
Development
Production
Same DLL is loaded on both the Development and Production. I have loaded the DLL using both Add-Type and System.Reflection.Assembly. Production is on PowerShell 4.0 while my development box is on PowerShell 5.1. Don't know if that is the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
