below is the simple commands i set in the script where i get empty body message
$email = Get-ChildItem -path D:\TFTP-Root | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)}
Send-MailMessage -To 'bhuvankumar@gmail.com' -SmtpServer 'smtp.com' -Subject 'Test Email' -Body $email -From tets01@ymail.com

# Get the Files $items = Get-ChildItem -path D:\TFTP-Root | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} # Create a mailbody $mailbody = "" foreach($item in $items){ $mailbody += $mailbody + "File: " + $item.FullName + "`n" + "Size (KB): " + $item.Length + "`r`n`n" } # Add the mailbody Send-MailMessage -To 'xxxxx@gmail.com' -SmtpServer 'smtp.com' -Subject 'Files and Sizes' -Body $mailbody -From "yyyyy@gmail.com"You cannot send an object as mail body, you need to convert to string [[-Body] <string>]
$emailObject = Get-ChildItem -path D:\TFTP-Root | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} $emailcsvtxt= $emailObject |select Mode ,LastWriteTime ,Length ,Name|ConvertTo-Csv
