  1. Are you sure you need mail:popbeforesmtp=true?
  2. Could you provide your rule?

i tried with and without popbefore

import org.openhab.core.library.types.*
import org.openhab.core.persistence.*
import org.openhab.model.script.actions.*

rule "SmartWasher Status"
when
Item SmartWasher changed
then
logInfo("SmartWasher: “, SmartWasher.state.toString())
sendMail("mymail@gmail.com”, "Washer switched ", SmartWasher.state)

end

4

Remove the popbeforesmtp=true from your openhab.cfg, and add .toString to the state:

sendMail("mymail@gmail.com", "Washer switched ",  SmartWasher.state.toString)
