These functions provide access to email services. The sending rate is limited to 20 per hour. Delivery will not be guaranteed for any sends beyond this rate. If you have your own Mandrill account, you can use the Mandrill Library instead and you won't have the limitation of 20 per hour.

 

Import


To use this library and its functions, you must use the import line at the beginning of your Base Python code.

import Email
