Hi,

I can´t get my mailing to work and wanted to ask, if somebody can help.  
What I did so far.

- Installed mail binding (UI)
- Created SMTP Thing (UI)  
 ![image](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/5/1515463669af1f8a3e601a2f3e645be2415878e9.png)
- Created Test Rule (File in /conf/rules/)

> rule “SendMail”
> 
> when
> 
> ```
> Time cron "0 0/1 * * * ?"
> 
> ```
> 
> then
> 
> val mailActions = getActions(“mail”,“mail:smtp:test”)
> 
> mailActions.sendMail(“my\_mail@address.test”, “test”, “test”)
> 
> end

What happens is that I get this error in log and no incoming mail in my inbox ☹

> … failed: ‘sendMail’ is not a member of ‘org.openhab.core.thing.binding.ThingActions’; line 9, column  
> 4, length 101 in sendMail

Anyone an idea ?

Thanks in advance and Greetings,

Julian
