strongloop loopback send email

Question

I see that loopback comes with nodemailer integrated as a node module. I tried to follow the docs to send a hello world mail via the angular-sdk

http://apidocs.strongloop.com/loopback/#emailsendoptions-callback

However, the docs are not really specific here. I tried the following:

    User.email
      from: "info@test.com"
      to: "sven@gmail.com"
      subject: "hello world"
      html: "<b> Hello Wolrd </b>"

which gives me this error, even though I have an authenticated user instance.

POST http://localhost:3000/api/users/Emails 401 (Unauthorized) angular.js:8407

intercepted rejection of  /api/users/Emails 401

My question is how can I configure the email module as to set up SMTP etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Sven

This thread is quite old, but this is how you implement the loopback email feature:

MyModel.app.models.Email.send({
        to: To,
        from: From,
        subject: Subject,
        text: Text,
        html: Html
      }, function(err, mail) {
        console.log('Email Sent!');
        console.log(mail);
        cb(err);
      });

I don't think we have any docs specifically on using Mail with the Angular SDK, but see http://docs.strongloop.com/display/LB/Using+built-in+models#Usingbuilt-inmodels-Emailmodel for info on just sending an email message in LoopBack. A good approach might be to get it working on the backend first and then try doing it via Angular.
