Multi-Account Email Sender (pop wrapper)
This script wraps Charm's pop to send emails from multiple accounts directly from your terminal without config edits. Select your email, then use pop's interactive UI or CLI flags.
Features
- Switch between multiple SMTP accounts via
gum (or fallback menu)
- Secure secrets from
~/.zsh_secrets
- Exports
POP_SMTP_USERNAME, POP_SMTP_PASSWORD, POP_FROM automatically
- Passes all
pop args through
- Shellcheck clean, bash-compatible
Environment Variables
In ~/.zshrc (non-sensitive):
export POP_SMTP_HOST="smtp.gmail.com" # or smtp.outlook.com, etc.
export POP_SMTP_PORT=587
In ~/.zsh_secrets (chmod 600, gitignore!):
export POP_SMTP_USERNAME1="*Emails are not allowed*"
export POP_SMTP_PASSWORD1="abcd efgh ijkl mnop" # Gmail/Outlook APP PASSWORD
export POP_SMTP_USERNAME2="*Emails are not allowed*"
export POP_SMTP_PASSWORD2="ijkl mnop qrst uvwx" # APP PASSWORD (16 chars, no spaces)
⚠️ POP_SMTP_PASSWORDs are app-specific passwords (not your regular login)—generate from Gmail/Outlook 2FA security settings.
Dependencies
- pop (Charm)
- gum (optional, menu fallback built-in)
Usage
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/send_email
send_email # Interactive pop
send_email --to *Emails are not allowed* --subject "Hi" --body "Test"
