For a solution that uses outlook see TheoretiCAL s answer below   Otherwise  use the smtplib that comes with python  Note that this will require your email account allows smtp  which is not necessarily enabled by default   SERVER    smtp example com  FROM    yourEmail example com  TO     listOfEmails     must be a list  SUBJECT    Subject  TEXT    Your Text     Prepare actual message message      From   s r nTo   s r nSubject   s r n    s        FROM       join TO   SUBJECT  TEXT     Send the mail import smtplib server   smtplib SMTP SERVER  server sendmail FROM  TO  message  server quit     EDIT  this example uses reserved domains like described in RFC2606  SERVER    smtp example com  FROM    johnDoe example com  TO     JaneDoe example com     must be a list  SUBJECT    Hello   TEXT    This is a test of emailing through smtp of example com      Prepare actual message message      From   s r nTo   s r nSubject   s r n    s        FROM       join TO   SUBJECT  TEXT     Send the mail import smtplib server   smtplib SMTP SERVER  server login  MrDoe    PASSWORD   server sendmail FROM  TO  message  server quit     For it to actually work with gmail  Mr  Doe will need to go to the options tab in gmail and set it to allow smtp connections   Note the addition of the login line to authenticate to the remote server  The original version does not include this  an oversight on my part
