Sending Email from Java Code

Sending email from Java is simple.

We need to install Java Mail Jar and set its path in our program’s classpath.

The basic properties are set in the code and we are good to send email as mentioned in the code below:

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class SendEmail
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{   
 String to ="recipient@ gmail.com";
 String from ="sender@ gmail.com";
 String host ="localhost";
 Properties properties = System.getProperties();
 properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
 Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

 try{
 MimeMessage message =newMimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(newInternetAddress(from));
 message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,newInternetAddress(to));
 message.setSubject("My Email Subject";
 message.setText("My Message Body";
 Transport.send(message);
 System.out.println("Sent successfully!";
 }
 catch(MessagingException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
}
