This project was completed as a code along using this guide -> https://realpython.com/python-send-email/

# Make sure to setup a local SMTP debugging server :- python -m smtpd -c DebuggingServer -n localhost:1025

TODOs:- 
1. Create a simple function that takes in a user defined sender, receiver, subject, and body using the terminal
2. Allow someone to send emails using a GUI ✅ see SendingSimpleEmailV2.py file
