Javamail (Version 1.2) Jaf (Version 1.1.1) : // File Name Sendemail - Java

To send an e-mail using your Java Application is simple enough but to start with
you should have JavaMail API and Java Activation Framework (JAF) installed on

your machine.
 You can download latest version of JavaMail (Version 1.2) from Java's standard
website.
 You can download latest version of JAF (Version 1.1.1) from Java's standard
website.
Download and unzip these files, in the newly created top level directories you will
find a number of jar files for both the applications. You need to
add mail.jar and activation.jar files in your CLASSPATH.
Send a Simple E-mail:
Here is an example to send a simple e-mail from your machine. Here it is assumed
that your localhost is connected to the internet and capable enough to send an
email.
// File Name SendEmail.java
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SendEmail

{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
// Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
String to = "abcd@gmail.com";
// Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned

String from = "web@gmail.com";
// Assuming you are sending email from localhost

String host = "localhost";
// Get system properties

Properties properties = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
// Get the default Session object.

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try{
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.

message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
// Set Subject: header field

message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");
// Now set the actual message

message.setText("This is actual message");
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Compile and run this program to send a simple e-mail:
$ java SendEmail
Sent message successfully....
If you want to send an e-mail to multiple recipients then following methods would
be used to specify multiple e-mail IDs:
void addRecipients(Message.RecipientType type,

Address[] addresses)
throws MessagingException
Here is the description of the parameters:
 type: This would be set to TO, CC or BCC. Here CC represents Carbon Copy and
BCC represents Black Carbon Copy. Example Message.RecipientType.TO
 addresses: This is the array of email ID. You would need to use InternetAddress()
method while specifying email IDs
Send an HTML E-mail:
Here is an example to send an HTML email from your machine. Here it is assumed
that your localhostis connected to the internet and capable enough to send an
email.
This example is very similar to previous one, except here we are using
setContent() method to set content whose second argument is "text/html" to
specify that the HTML content is included in the message.
Using this example, you can send as big as HTML content you like.
// File Name SendHTMLEmail.java
import java.util.*;
public class SendHTMLEmail

{
{





try{



// Send the actual HTML message, as big as you like

message.setContent("<h1>This is actual message</h1>",
"text/html" );
// Send message
}
}
}
Compile and run this program to send an HTML e-mail:
$ java SendHTMLEmail
Send Attachment in E-mail:
Here is an example to send an email with attachment from your machine. Here it
is assumed that yourlocalhost is connected to the internet and capable enough to
send an email.
// File Name SendFileEmail.java
import java.util.*;
public class SendFileEmail

{
{






try{



// Create the message part

BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Fill the message

messageBodyPart.setText("This is message body");
// Create a multipar message

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment

messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "file.txt";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts

message.setContent(multipart );
// Send message
}
}
}
Compile and run this program to send an HTML e-mail:
$ java SendFileEmail
User Authentication Part:
If it is required to provide user ID and Password to the e-mail server for
authentication purpose then you can set these properties as follows:
props.setProperty("mail.user", "myuser");
props.setProperty("mail.password", "mypwd");
Rest of the e-mail sending mechanism would remain as explained above.
