The JavaMail page on the Oracle website describes it as follows
The JavaMail API provides a platform-independent and protocol-independent framework to build mail and messaging applications. The JavaMail API is available as an optional package for use with the Java SE platform and is also included in the Java EE platform.
The primary site for the JavaMail project is now on java.net. From there you can find the javadocs for many versions of the APIs, links to the source code repositories, links for downloads, examples and hints for using JavaMail with some popular Email service providers.
This example shows how to establish a connection to an SSL-enabled POP3 email server and send a simple (text only) email.
// Configure mail provider
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.mymailprovider.com");
props.put("mail.pop3.host", "pop3.mymailprovider.com");
// Enable SSL
props.put("mail.pop3.ssl.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
// Enable SMTP Authentication
props.put("mail.smtp.auth","true");
Authenticator auth = new PasswordAuthentication("user", "password");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
// Get the store for authentication
final Store store;
try {
store = session.getStore("pop3");
} catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
}
try {
store.connect();
} catch (AuthenticationFailedException | MessagingException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
}
try {
// Setting up the mail
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(from);
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
message.setSubject("Test Subject");
message.setText("Hi, I'm a Mail sent with Java Mail API.");
// Send the mail
Transport.send(message);
} catch (AddressException | MessagingException e)
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
}
Caveats:
IllegalStateException
is a bad choice, for a start.public class GoogleMailTest {
GoogleMailTest() {
}
public static void Send(final String username, final String password, String recipientEmail, String title, String message) throws AddressException, MessagingException {
GoogleMailTest.Send(username, password, recipientEmail, "", title, message);
}
public static void Send(final String username, final String password, String recipientEmail, String ccEmail, String title, String message) throws AddressException, MessagingException {
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
final String SSL_FACTORY = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";
// Get a Properties object
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.setProperty("mail.smtps.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.debug", "true");
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.setProperty("mail.smtps.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtps.quitwait", "false");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
// -- Create a new message --
final MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// -- Set the FROM and TO fields --
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(username));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipientEmail, false));
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, msg.getSize());
if (ccEmail.length() > 0) {
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse(ccEmail, false));
}
msg.setSubject(title);
msg.setText(message);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
SMTPTransport t = (SMTPTransport) session.getTransport("smtps");
t.connect("smtp.gmail.com", username, password);
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
t.close();
}
// And use this code in any class, I'm using it in the same class in main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
String senderMail = "[email protected]"; //sender mail id
String password = "769inzimam-9771"; // sender mail password here
String toMail = "[email protected]"; // recepient mail id here
String cc = ""; // cc mail id here
String title = "Java mail test"; // Subject of the mail
String msg = "Message here"; // message to be sent
GoogleMailTest gmt = new GoogleMailTest();
try {
if (cc.isEmpty()) {
GoogleMailTest.Send(senderMail, password, toMail, title, msg);
} else {
GoogleMailTest.Send(senderMail, password, toMail, cc, title, msg);
}
} catch (MessagingException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(GoogleMailTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
You can use the same Example above Send Simple Mail with a little modification. Use msg.setContent()
instead of msg.setText()
and use content type html as text/html
.
check this
msg.setContent(message, "text/html; charset=utf-8");
instead of
msg.setText(message);
