There's an email example in the bone101 examples already on the current
Bone images. Try:
bone$ *cd /usr/share/bone101/examples/cookbook/06-iot * (For newest images)
If that doesn't work try
bone$ c*d /var/lib/cloud9/examples/cookbook/06-iot*
If that doesn't work you need to update your image.
Then run:
bone$ *npm install -g nodemailer*
Now edit the file nodemailer-test.js to use your gmail address and
password, and edit the *to* and *from* email addresses. Then run:
bone$ *./nodemailer-test.js*
{ [Error: Invalid login: 534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required.

Your email should be sent.
This is from the BeagleBone Cookbook

of examples like this for doing simple things...
