It lets you configure mail server credentials once in your Flask config, then send emails by creating Message objects and calling mail.send(). The package handles the SMTP connection lifecycle and integrates with Flask's application context.\n\nIt depends on flask for the application framework and blinker for signal support. The extension is maintained by the Pallets Community Ecosystem (the organization behind Flask itself) and remains actively developed. It is classified as Beta but has been in use since 2010, making it a stable choice for straightforward email needs in Flask applications.","worth_installing":"Yes. Flask-Mail is a lightweight, permissive-licensed extension with low install friction and active maintenance. It is the standard choice for email in Flask applications when you need straightforward SMTP integration. Install it if your Flask app needs to send emails and you prefer a simple, Flask-native API over raw SMTP."},"id":"flask-mail","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-mail","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-mail.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-mail/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-Mail","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Flask extension for sending email"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1577307,"position":3745,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.0"}
