Hey HN, I just published a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to send emails with Python using Gmail's SMTP server. It’s aimed at beginners and covers everything from enabling Gmail access, using smtplib, to sending messages with attachments.

The code is clean, well-documented, and ready to copy/paste. I also included some notes on common errors (like authentication issues or security settings). Useful for automating reports, alerts, or learning how email works under the hood.
