The main reason why we didn't make it public yet is that we didn't have time to document it properly. I have just uploaded this module, and you can install it via: repo install http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/email/EMail.jar<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/oXA1BRUEalRTo> The jar file contains two simple example for sending mails (in the xquery sub-directory). Looking forward to your feedback.

Maybe you can take advantage of the source code that I referenced in an earlier reply? It should be pretty straightforward. Maybe you could build an updated module and provide it back to the community?
