Program to send Email using JavaMail not working.

[v ray]

Hi guys,

Just trying out the javamail api for fun, am working with the program below:

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
 
import java.util.Properties;
 
class SimpleMail {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
      Properties props = new Properties();
      props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
      props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.mail.yahoo.com");
      props.setProperty("mail.user", "myusername");
      props.setProperty("mail.password", "mypassword");
 
      Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
      Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
 
      MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
      message.setSubject("Testing javamail plain");
      message.setContent("This is a test", "text/plain");
      message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
           new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
 
      transport.connect();
      transport.sendMessage(message,
          message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
      transport.close();
    }
}

And I am getting an exception which says:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html

at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1388)

at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:583)
at set1.SimpleMail.main(SimpleMail.java:26)

What am I missing here? Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Does Yahoo grant you smtp access?

it doesn't do for me. I am not allowed to smtp or pop the Yahoo mail severs with my type of Yahoo mail account.

Can I use gmail instead?

Turns out only yahoo plus provides this option, and gmail works.
This is the code I used and this version works fine:

 

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
 
import java.security.Security;
import java.util.Properties;
 
class SimpleMail {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
 
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
 
props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
 
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("username",
"password");
}
});
 
session.setDebug(true);
 

Transport transport = session.getTransport();
InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress("[e-mail]");
 
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setSender(addressFrom);
message.setSubject("Testing javamail plain");
message.setContent("This is a test", "text/plain");
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(
"[e-mail]"));
 
transport.connect();
transport.send(message);
transport.close();
}
}

This still throws an Exception at the end, although the email is sent. The exception thrown is:

try adding:

props.setProperty("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
