Adding from string

[BusinessTec]

I have a fully functioning setup (BTW: great package!). I am not able only to add one point from my test list, adding name of the sender, next to email address itself. Is it possible in the current version?

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

I think what you're looking for is to give an alias? It's in the documentation, but I'lll also post it here:

to1 = email1@example.com
to2 = email2@example.com
yag.send(to = to) 
yag.send(to = [to, to2]) # List or tuples for emailadresses *without* aliases
yag.send(to = {to : 'John'}) # Dictionary for emailaddress *with* aliases
yag.send(to = {to : John', to2 : 'Alice'})

So the point is to make a dictionary like {'emailaddr' : 'aliasname'} as the to argument.

Let me know if it works for you, then I'll close the issue.

Wow, indeed, there was a bug! The result was sending to the right person, but with a wrong alias (you yourself became the alias, very bad!). You will want to upgrade to the new version (0.3.76).

pip install -U yagmail
pip3 install -U yagmail

Actually I am trying to do the same but 'from' rather then 'to' - tried all combinations but it did not work. Will try with a new version!

You were right! Apparently it is required to use 'Alias ' and you can't just use alias. Funny. Please upgrade once more!

yagmail.Connect({'your@email.com' : 'youralias'}).send()

I'll close the issue when you confirm it has been solved.

It works now - thanks a lot for fixing it!
