Software Technology Tips

Sometimes we need to send mail from within our application. In java there is an API which supports sending and receiving emails.

In order to send mail from a java application we need to add two jars in our application:

The following import statements should be include in java code.

import javax.mail.*;

import java.mail.internet.*;

import java.util.Porpterties;

Setup Mail Server:

Before sending mail we need to setup the mail server as below:

Properties prop = System.getProperties();

prop.put(“mail.smtp.host”, mail server name/ip);

Getting Default mail session:

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(prop, null);

Composing a new Mail:

Message message = new MimeMessage(session);

message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromAddress));

message.addReceipient(Message.ReceipientType.To, new InternetAddress(toAddress));

message. addReceipient(Message.ReceipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(ccAddress));

message.setSubject(subjectOftheMail);

message.Content(message.toString(), “text/plain”);

Sending the Mail:

After we compose the email we can use the following line of code to send the mail.

Transport.send(message);
