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:
1.Mail.jar
2.Activation.jar
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);
