  // Set the message content
  message.text.content = emailMSG;

  // Set debug option
  smtp.debug(0);

  // Set the callback function to get the sending results
  smtp.callback(smtpCallback);

  // Connect to the server
  smtp.connect(&config);

  // Start sending Email and close the session

    Serial.println("Error sending Email, " + smtp.errorReason());

  emailMSG = "The garage door"; 

}  

Additional information and things you've tried: I am using SPIFFS for other string stored on the device. What I have noticed is whenever I send an email the error occurrs priot to getting connected to the SMTP server. After the error message my device becomes unstable because it seems as though my SPIFF files are no longer present. After re-uploading them the device will function.

The complete error messgae is -

Connecting to SMTP server...

E (2164310) esp_littlefs: ./components/esp_littlefs/src/littlefs/lfs.c:1225:error: Corrupted dir pair at {0x0, 0x1}

The library works normally for all filesystems. You have to check your code.

[mobizt]

SPIFFS is deprecated and not recommended.

Please use LittleFS instead.

So now what you are saying that it does not work with ALL filesystems!

Please google.

Spent days googling no mention of SPIFFs being outdated. Also no mention as to why you sendmail need littleFS.

[mobizt]

SPIFFS is deprecated in ESP32 Arduino Core v3.x.x and LittleFS was used by default.

You can change the default filesystem via src/ESP_Mail_FS.h.

https://github.com/mobizt/ESP-Mail-Client/blob/566db6d446a8ed67d3e81746346852850e2a81fa/src/ESP_Mail_FS.h#L73-L92

You will see that LittleFS was set for the macro ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_FLASH_FS if ESP32 Core version is greater than v2.x.x on line no. 82-83.

If you want to use SPIFFS, you have to replace line mo.82-83 with following which is similar to line no. 87-88.

#include <SPIFFS.h> 
#define ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_FLASH_FS SPIFFS

Thank you very much for you reply. It was extremely helpful and I will try to mod you suggested. I hope it works as I am not extremely proficient in coding these things, as you can probably tell!

Thanks again

[BozoTClown]

Made the mod you suggested. Still receiving the following messages, but the email does go though.

Error, NTP server time reading timed out

SMTP server connected

When I reboot the device it goes into am endless reboot intil I unplug it. When I reload the SPIFFs data everything works fine until I send another email.

Don't reply via email. You should go to github to post your comment.

Where is your code that initiates SPIFFS?
