How to send email with an image attachment with Qt?

Question

I have to send an image or video to other person trough email. I initially tried with QAxObject with outlook, but it is not OS independent. I want to know how to create and send an email with Qt with option of an attachement. Is QSSLSocket is a good way?

Qt itself doesn't provide an SMTP client. You need to use a third party library. There is at least one Qt-based SMTP client implementation, in QxtNetwork module.
