Visual Basic 邮件发送功能

邮件发送原理

在深入探讨 Visual Basic 如何实现邮件发送功能之前,我们先来了解一下邮件发送的基本原理。邮件发送涉及到简单邮件传输协议(SMTP)。SMTP 是一种基于文本的协议,用于在邮件服务器之间以及客户端与服务器之间传输邮件。

当我们在 Visual Basic 程序中发送邮件时,实际上是与 SMTP 服务器进行交互。程序需要向 SMTP 服务器提供必要的信息,如发件人地址、收件人地址、邮件主题、邮件正文等。SMTP 服务器验证这些信息后,将邮件转发到收件人的邮件服务器,最终由收件人的邮件客户端接收。

使用 CDO 库发送邮件

在 Visual Basic 中,我们可以使用 CDO(Collaboration Data Objects)库来实现邮件发送功能。CDO 是一组基于 COM 的对象,提供了处理电子邮件、日程安排、任务等协作数据的功能。

首先,我们需要添加对 CDO 库的引用。在 Visual Basic 工程中,选择“工程” -> “引用”,在弹出的对话框中找到“Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 Library”(不同版本的 CDO 库名称可能略有不同)并勾选,然后点击“确定”。

下面是一个简单的代码示例:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendMail()
    Dim objCDO As Object
    Dim objConfiguration As Object
    Dim objMessage As Object

   '创建 CDO 对象
    Set objCDO = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
    Set objConfiguration = objCDO
    Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

   '配置 CDO 选项
    With objConfiguration
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 587
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "your_email@example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "your_password"
       .Fields.Update
    End With

   '设置邮件属性
    With objMessage
       .Configuration = objConfiguration
       .From = "your_email@example.com"
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test Email from Visual Basic"
       .TextBody = "This is a test email sent from Visual Basic using CDO."
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set objMessage = Nothing
    Set objConfiguration = Nothing
    Set objCDO = Nothing
End Sub

在上述代码中:

  1. 我们首先创建了 CDO 相关的对象,包括 objCDO(用于配置)、objConfigurationobjMessage(用于构建和发送邮件)。
  2. 然后通过 objConfiguration 对象设置了 SMTP 服务器的相关信息,如服务器地址、端口号、认证方式、用户名和密码。这里 sendusing 设置为 2 表示使用 SMTP 服务器发送邮件。
  3. 接着通过 objMessage 对象设置邮件的发件人、收件人、主题和正文,并调用 Send 方法发送邮件。
  4. 最后释放对象,以避免内存泄漏。

使用 Outlook 自动化发送邮件

除了 CDO 库,我们还可以通过 Outlook 自动化来发送邮件。这种方式利用了 Outlook 已经配置好的邮件账户信息,无需手动配置 SMTP 服务器等信息。

首先,确保已经安装了 Outlook,并且在 Visual Basic 工程中添加对 “Microsoft Outlook XX.0 Object Library”(XX 代表 Outlook 的版本号,如 16.0 对应 Outlook 2016 及以上版本)的引用。

以下是代码示例:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendMailUsingOutlook()
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

   '创建 Outlook 应用程序对象
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    If olApp Is Nothing Then
        Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0

   '创建邮件对象
    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

   '设置邮件属性
    With olMail
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test Email from Visual Basic via Outlook"
       .Body = "This is a test email sent from Visual Basic using Outlook automation."
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set olMail = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

在这段代码中:

  1. 我们尝试获取已经运行的 Outlook 应用程序实例,如果不存在则创建一个新的实例。
  2. 使用 Outlook 应用程序对象创建一个新的邮件项目 olMail
  3. 设置邮件的收件人、主题和正文,并调用 Send 方法发送邮件。
  4. 最后释放对象资源。

处理邮件附件

在邮件发送中,附件是一个常见的需求。无论是使用 CDO 还是 Outlook 自动化,都可以很方便地添加附件。

使用 CDO 添加附件

修改之前使用 CDO 发送邮件的代码,添加附件功能:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendMailWithAttachment()
    Dim objCDO As Object
    Dim objConfiguration As Object
    Dim objMessage As Object

   '创建 CDO 对象
    Set objCDO = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
    Set objConfiguration = objCDO
    Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

   '配置 CDO 选项
    With objConfiguration
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 587
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "your_email@example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "your_password"
       .Fields.Update
    End With

   '设置邮件属性
    With objMessage
       .Configuration = objConfiguration
       .From = "your_email@example.com"
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test Email with Attachment from Visual Basic"
       .TextBody = "This is a test email with an attachment sent from Visual Basic using CDO."
       .AddAttachment "C:\example\attachment.txt"
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set objMessage = Nothing
    Set objConfiguration = Nothing
    Set objCDO = Nothing
End Sub

在上述代码中,通过 objMessageAddAttachment 方法,传入附件的文件路径,即可添加附件。

使用 Outlook 自动化添加附件

修改使用 Outlook 自动化发送邮件的代码,添加附件功能:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendMailWithAttachmentUsingOutlook()
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

   '创建 Outlook 应用程序对象
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    If olApp Is Nothing Then
        Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0

   '创建邮件对象
    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

   '设置邮件属性
    With olMail
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test Email with Attachment from Visual Basic via Outlook"
       .Body = "This is a test email with an attachment sent from Visual Basic using Outlook automation."
       .Attachments.Add "C:\example\attachment.txt"
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set olMail = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

同样,通过 olMailAttachments.Add 方法,传入附件路径来添加附件。

处理邮件 HTML 正文

有时我们需要发送带有 HTML 格式的邮件正文,以实现更丰富的展示效果。

使用 CDO 发送 HTML 正文

修改 CDO 发送邮件的代码,设置 HTML 正文:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendHTMLMail()
    Dim objCDO As Object
    Dim objConfiguration As Object
    Dim objMessage As Object

   '创建 CDO 对象
    Set objCDO = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
    Set objConfiguration = objCDO
    Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

   '配置 CDO 选项
    With objConfiguration
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 587
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "your_email@example.com"
       .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "your_password"
       .Fields.Update
    End With

   '设置邮件属性
    With objMessage
       .Configuration = objConfiguration
       .From = "your_email@example.com"
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test HTML Email from Visual Basic"
       .HTMLBody = "<html><body><h1>Test HTML Email</h1><p>This is a test email with HTML content sent from Visual Basic using CDO.</p></body></html>"
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set objMessage = Nothing
    Set objConfiguration = Nothing
    Set objCDO = Nothing
End Sub

在上述代码中,使用 objMessageHTMLBody 属性来设置 HTML 格式的正文。

使用 Outlook 自动化发送 HTML 正文

修改 Outlook 自动化发送邮件的代码,设置 HTML 正文:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SendHTMLMailUsingOutlook()
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem

   '创建 Outlook 应用程序对象
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    If olApp Is Nothing Then
        Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0

   '创建邮件对象
    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

   '设置邮件属性
    With olMail
       .To = "recipient@example.com"
       .Subject = "Test HTML Email from Visual Basic via Outlook"
       .HTMLBody = "<html><body><h1>Test HTML Email</h1><p>This is a test email with HTML content sent from Visual Basic using Outlook automation.</p></body></html>"
       .Send
    End With

   '释放对象
    Set olMail = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

这里同样是通过 olMailHTMLBody 属性来设置 HTML 正文。

Visual Basic 邮件接收功能

邮件接收原理

邮件接收涉及到邮局协议(POP3)或互联网消息访问协议(IMAP)。POP3 主要用于从邮件服务器下载邮件到本地客户端,通常下载后邮件会从服务器删除(也可以设置保留副本)。IMAP 则允许用户在服务器上管理邮件,本地客户端与服务器保持同步,用户可以在不同设备上看到相同的邮件状态。

在 Visual Basic 中实现邮件接收功能,我们需要与 POP3 或 IMAP 服务器进行交互,通过相应的协议命令获取邮件列表、邮件内容等信息。

使用第三方库进行邮件接收(以 POP3 为例)

有一些第三方库可以帮助我们在 Visual Basic 中实现邮件接收功能。这里以一个假设的名为 Pop3Client 的库为例(实际使用中你需要找到合适的、经过测试的库)。

首先,将 Pop3Client 库添加到你的项目中(可能是通过引用 DLL 文件等方式,具体取决于库的提供方式)。

以下是使用该库接收邮件的代码示例:

Option Explicit

Private Sub ReceiveMail()
    Dim pop3 As Pop3Client
    Dim messages As Collection
    Dim msg As Object

   '创建 Pop3Client 对象
    Set pop3 = New Pop3Client

   '连接到 POP3 服务器
    pop3.Connect "pop.example.com", 110
    pop3.Login "your_email@example.com", "your_password"

   '获取邮件列表
    Set messages = pop3.GetMessageList

   '遍历邮件列表并获取邮件内容
    For Each msg In messages
        Dim subject As String
        Dim body As String

        subject = pop3.GetMessageSubject(msg)
        body = pop3.GetMessageBody(msg)

        Debug.Print "Subject: " & subject
        Debug.Print "Body: " & body
    Next msg

   '断开连接
    pop3.Logout
    pop3.Disconnect

   '释放对象
    Set msg = Nothing
    Set messages = Nothing
    Set pop3 = Nothing
End Sub

在上述代码中:

  1. 我们创建了 Pop3Client 对象 pop3
  2. 使用 Connect 方法连接到 POP3 服务器,并通过 Login 方法进行登录。
  3. 通过 GetMessageList 方法获取邮件列表,然后遍历邮件列表,使用 GetMessageSubjectGetMessageBody 方法获取每封邮件的主题和正文。
  4. 最后使用 LogoutDisconnect 方法断开与服务器的连接,并释放对象。

使用 WinSock 实现简单的 POP3 邮件接收

如果不使用第三方库,我们也可以通过 WinSock 控件来实现简单的 POP3 邮件接收功能。WinSock 提供了基于 TCP/IP 协议的网络通信功能,而 POP3 是基于 TCP 协议的。

首先,在 Visual Basic 工程中添加 WinSock 控件(如果工具箱中没有,可以通过“工程” -> “部件”,勾选“Microsoft Winsock Control XX.0”添加)。

以下是代码示例:

Option Explicit

Private Const POP3_PORT = 110
Private Const CRLF = vbCrLf

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim server As String
    Dim user As String
    Dim pass As String

    server = "pop.example.com"
    user = "your_email@example.com"
    pass = "your_password"

    Winsock1.Close
    Winsock1.Connect server, POP3_PORT
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    Dim command As String

    command = "USER " & user & CRLF
    Winsock1.SendData command
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        Dim command As String
        command = "PASS " & pass & CRLF
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Login failed: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival2(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        Dim command As String
        command = "LIST" & CRLF
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Password incorrect: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival3(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        '处理邮件列表
        Dim lines() As String
        lines = Split(response, CRLF)
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 1 To UBound(lines) - 1
            Dim parts() As String
            parts = Split(lines(i), " ")
            Dim msgNumber As Integer
            Dim msgSize As Integer
            msgNumber = CInt(parts(0))
            msgSize = CInt(parts(1))
            Debug.Print "Message " & msgNumber & " size: " & msgSize
        Next i

        Dim command As String
        command = "RETR 1" & CRLF '获取第一封邮件
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Failed to get message list: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival4(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        '处理邮件内容
        Dim bodyStart As Integer
        bodyStart = InStr(response, CRLF & CRLF) + 4
        Dim body As String
        body = Mid(response, bodyStart)
        Debug.Print "Message body: " & body
    Else
        MsgBox "Failed to retrieve message: " & response
    End If

    Winsock1.Close
End Sub

在这段代码中:

  1. 当点击按钮 Command1 时,我们关闭之前可能存在的连接,并连接到 POP3 服务器。
  2. 连接成功后,发送 USER 命令进行用户名验证。
  3. 接收到服务器响应后,如果验证成功则发送 PASS 命令进行密码验证。
  4. 密码验证成功后,发送 LIST 命令获取邮件列表。
  5. 接收到邮件列表后,发送 RETR 命令获取第一封邮件的内容。
  6. 最后处理并显示邮件内容,并关闭连接。

处理邮件附件接收

当接收到邮件时,如果邮件包含附件,我们需要提取附件。对于使用第三方库接收邮件的情况,不同的库可能有不同的方法来提取附件。

假设 Pop3Client 库有一个 GetMessageAttachments 方法来获取附件,修改之前接收邮件的代码如下:

Option Explicit

Private Sub ReceiveMailWithAttachments()
    Dim pop3 As Pop3Client
    Dim messages As Collection
    Dim msg As Object

   '创建 Pop3Client 对象
    Set pop3 = New Pop3Client

   '连接到 POP3 服务器
    pop3.Connect "pop.example.com", 110
    pop3.Login "your_email@example.com", "your_password"

   '获取邮件列表
    Set messages = pop3.GetMessageList

   '遍历邮件列表并获取邮件内容和附件
    For Each msg In messages
        Dim subject As String
        Dim body As String
        Dim attachments As Collection
        Dim attachment As Object

        subject = pop3.GetMessageSubject(msg)
        body = pop3.GetMessageBody(msg)
        Set attachments = pop3.GetMessageAttachments(msg)

        Debug.Print "Subject: " & subject
        Debug.Print "Body: " & body

       '处理附件
        For Each attachment In attachments
            Dim filePath As String
            filePath = "C:\attachments\" & attachment.FileName
            attachment.SaveAs filePath
            Debug.Print "Attachment saved: " & filePath
        Next attachment
    Next msg

   '断开连接
    pop3.Logout
    pop3.Disconnect

   '释放对象
    Set attachment = Nothing
    Set attachments = Nothing
    Set msg = Nothing
    Set messages = Nothing
    Set pop3 = Nothing
End Sub

在上述代码中,通过 pop3.GetMessageAttachments(msg) 获取附件集合,然后遍历附件集合,使用 attachment.SaveAs 方法将附件保存到本地指定路径。

对于使用 WinSock 实现的 POP3 邮件接收,处理附件会更加复杂,因为需要解析邮件内容中的 MIME 格式来提取附件信息。MIME(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)是一种扩展电子邮件标准,用于支持非 ASCII 字符、二进制文件等内容。

以下是一个简单的解析 MIME 格式邮件内容提取附件的示例代码(基于之前 WinSock 接收邮件的代码基础上修改):

Option Explicit

Private Const POP3_PORT = 110
Private Const CRLF = vbCrLf

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim server As String
    Dim user As String
    Dim pass As String

    server = "pop.example.com"
    user = "your_email@example.com"
    pass = "your_password"

    Winsock1.Close
    Winsock1.Connect server, POP3_PORT
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    Dim command As String

    command = "USER " & user & CRLF
    Winsock1.SendData command
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        Dim command As String
        command = "PASS " & pass & CRLF
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Login failed: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival2(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        Dim command As String
        command = "LIST" & CRLF
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Password incorrect: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival3(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        '处理邮件列表
        Dim lines() As String
        lines = Split(response, CRLF)
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 1 To UBound(lines) - 1
            Dim parts() As String
            parts = Split(lines(i), " ")
            Dim msgNumber As Integer
            Dim msgSize As Integer
            msgNumber = CInt(parts(0))
            msgSize = CInt(parts(1))
            Debug.Print "Message " & msgNumber & " size: " & msgSize
        Next i

        Dim command As String
        command = "RETR 1" & CRLF '获取第一封邮件
        Winsock1.SendData command
    Else
        MsgBox "Failed to get message list: " & response
        Winsock1.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival4(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim response As String
    Winsock1.GetData response

    If Left(response, 3) = "+OK" Then
        '处理邮件内容和附件
        Dim bodyStart As Integer
        bodyStart = InStr(response, CRLF & CRLF) + 4
        Dim body As String
        body = Mid(response, bodyStart)

        Dim boundary As String
        boundary = GetBoundary(body)
        If boundary <> "" Then
            Dim attachmentData() As Byte
            Dim attachmentName As String
            If GetAttachment(body, boundary, attachmentData, attachmentName) Then
                Dim filePath As String
                filePath = "C:\attachments\" & attachmentName
                SaveAttachment attachmentData, filePath
                Debug.Print "Attachment saved: " & filePath
            End If
        End If

        Debug.Print "Message body: " & body
    Else
        MsgBox "Failed to retrieve message: " & response
    End If

    Winsock1.Close
End Sub

Private Function GetBoundary(ByVal mailBody As String) As String
    Dim startIndex As Integer
    startIndex = InStr(mailBody, "boundary=")
    If startIndex > 0 Then
        Dim endIndex As Integer
        endIndex = InStr(startIndex, mailBody, vbCrLf, vbTextCompare)
        GetBoundary = Mid(mailBody, startIndex + 9, endIndex - startIndex - 9)
    End If
End Function

Private Function GetAttachment(ByVal mailBody As String, ByVal boundary As String, ByRef attachmentData() As Byte, ByRef attachmentName As String) As Boolean
    Dim startIndex As Integer
    startIndex = InStr(mailBody, "--" & boundary & vbCrLf & "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" & vbCrLf)
    If startIndex > 0 Then
        Dim nameStart As Integer
        nameStart = InStr(startIndex, mailBody, "name=""", vbTextCompare)
        If nameStart > 0 Then
            Dim nameEnd As Integer
            nameEnd = InStr(nameStart + 6, mailBody, """", vbTextCompare)
            attachmentName = Mid(mailBody, nameStart + 6, nameEnd - nameStart - 6)

            Dim dataStart As Integer
            dataStart = InStr(startIndex, mailBody, CRLF & CRLF) + 4
            Dim dataEnd As Integer
            dataEnd = InStr(dataStart, mailBody, vbCrLf & "--" & boundary, vbTextCompare) - 2
            attachmentData = StrConv(Mid(mailBody, dataStart, dataEnd - dataStart + 1), vbFromUnicode)
            GetAttachment = True
        End If
    End If
End Function

Private Sub SaveAttachment(ByVal attachmentData() As Byte, ByVal filePath As String)
    Dim fileNum As Integer
    fileNum = FreeFile
    Open filePath For Binary As #fileNum
    Put #fileNum, , attachmentData
    Close #fileNum
End Sub

在上述代码中:

  1. GetBoundary 函数用于从邮件内容中提取 MIME 边界字符串。
