If you have an active job with your email task, it is quite easy. Invoke your email script (I don't know which one you are using) from the command line, providing any command line arguments that it requires PLUS the following (after any other arguments): <jobID> <taskID> <areaVpath>
You can get these values from the WebDesk Pro interface.

NOTE: If the task that you reference has never been activated, the task will not have any attached files. I don't know if this matters for your email message.

In addition - make sure that you have the [iwsend_mail] section in your iw.cfg file configured with (at least):
maildomain=...
mailserver=...

and that the mailserver accepts email requests (this is part of what you will hopefully be able to determine if you follow Brinko's advice regarding running the script from the command line)

Do you understand how to run the script from the command line?

Do you understand how to run Perl in debug mode (or in the debugger GUI)?

Just one small point. Did you transport this iwsend_servlet_mail.ipl from Windows to Solaris machine? The file format for both platforms is different. Try to open the file in "vi editor" and see if it shows "^M" characters. That will halt the execution.

Hope this helps.

You were able to test it already, and ...?

Does it work now? If so - what did you have to change?

Does it still not work? If so - can you more fully describe the situation?

the script which is given by the team site is not working properly. you need to write your own script. use smtp object when sending the mail

Generally speaking, if you cannot determine why the standard script is not working, then trying to create your own script is a waste of time. There is no compelling reason to think that your script would not have the same problem.

Email problems seem to stem most often from problems with the server configuration, connection parameters, addressing, mail server configuration or the mail client.

Of course, if you have the time to waste... go ahead and try. But my recommendation would be to first track down your current problem.
