No add method for MimeKit.InternetAddressList

[MihaIvan]

I followed the example to create a send a message. Here is an excerpt from the code:

$Recipients = [MimeKit.InternetAddressList]::new $Recipients.add([MimeKit.InternetAddress]"mikelusicic@computrolllc.com")

This produces the error below:

9 | $Recipients.add([MimeKit.InternetAddress]"mikelusicic@computrolllc.co … | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Method invocation failed because [System.Management.Automation.PSMethod] does | not contain a method named 'add'.

Further down I have the send coded as thus:

Send-MailKitMessage -UseSecureConnectionIfAvailable $UseSecureConnectionIfAvailable -Credential $wkCreds -SMTPServer $Server -Port $Port -From $From -RecipientList $Recipients -Subject $Subject ` -TextBody $Body

This gives this error:

Line | 24 | -RecipientList $Recipients ` | ~~~ | Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'RecipientList'. Cannot | convert the "MimeKit.InternetAddressList | new(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable[MimeKit.InternetAddress] addresses), | MimeKit.InternetAddressList new()" value of type | "System.Management.Automation.PSMethod" to type "MimeKit.InternetAddressList".

By the way, where is the documentation for this? Surely there is more than just the example. Also, when trying to update the help, it says it could not update the help for this object.

Hi @MihaIvan, In your sample you need to change this: $Recipients = [MimeKit.InternetAddressList]::new

To this: $Recipients = [MimeKit.InternetAddressList]::new()

Regarding documentation - there isn't additional documentation beyond the example since that includes usage and datatypes, there isn't much else to include.

I tried this, and it is not working. Sorry to be a bother. It looks like it cannot find the Mime objects.

That error is a result of not running this statement at the beginning of the script: using module Send-MailKitMessage

That brings the required packages like MimeKit into scope for the session.
