Issue connecting SmtpClient

@SGaist
Confused on what you mean by that, I am attempting to integrate this into a pre-existing project to send emails when certain issues arise, to warn someone who is not using the software of an issue on the computer...are you saying to clone the repository, and then move my project into the cloned repository?No, clone the repository, build the project and then use it as you would any other C++ library.

Is that not what I am doing in this sense? I assume there a knowledge gap on my end, not using it as a library correctly..What you did is copy the files over to your project.
That's not how you use a library.
As an example, you are not copying the Qt files in your project to use it.

I hate to be annoying, but I am just still confused. How would you go about using this in the correct way then? I'm sure it's super simple, and I'll kick myself once you help me but I just do not see it right now..Not looking for an answer but I guess just more of a push in the right direction..sorry again for making a simple problem more difficult then it needs to be -

Install it somewhere central and then use LIBS to setup its use with your project.

Along with the *.cpp and *.h files correct? Basically have that project set aside somewhere local, and just reference the *.pro file within my EmailTest.pro file, by using the LIBS keyword, correct? -

No, you do not reference any pro files via LIBS. You reference libraries. Please read https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qmake-variable-reference.html#libs

For anyone in the future, @jsulm had a useful link to point me in the correct direction with referencing the library, along with @SGaist explaining about compiling the project, rather then just using the source files.

Hello, @orsini29 I am encountering the same issue and I am lost as well. I have read everything that has been suggested but I am still not sure how to concretely implement stmp into my project. Could you be more specific on how you have manage to do it please ? It would be a great help to me, thanks :)
