Examples
Let us see the example how to send the email using javaMail API
[c]import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class SendEmail
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Mention the recipients email address
String to = "splessons@gmail.com";
// Mention the senders email address
String from = "splessons11@gmail.com";
final String username = "splessons";//change accordingly
final String password = "******";//change accordingly
// Assuming that sending email through relay.jangosmtp.net
String host = "relay.jangosmtp.net";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");
// To get the Session object.
Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
try {
// Creating a default Mime Message object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// To set header filed
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// To set header filed
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// To set subject to header filed
message.setSubject("Test Subject");
// To set the actual message
message.setText("Hello, this is sample for to check send " +
"email using JavaMailAPI ");
// To send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("message send");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
