I am giving sample code here.
Put this code in an action behind Send Mail button on your iview as an example.
Also add external jar file mail.jar to your web dynpro project to achieve your objective.
     if(wdContext.currentContextElement().getTest()== null)
          IWDWindowInfo windowInfo1 = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("EnterText");
          IWDWindow window1 =wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo1,true);
          window1.open();
          window1.setWindowPosition(300,300);
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setEmptyText(window1);
     } else
          Properties props = new Properties();
          String host = "XXX.XXX.X.X"; /*ip address of mail server */
          props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
          props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");
          props.put("mail.smtp.auth","false");
     //     auth = new AuthenticationBean();
          Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
           MimeMessage  message = new MimeMessage (
          Session.getInstance ( props, null ) );
         Address toAddress = new InternetAddress();
          Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress();
          Address ccAddress = new InternetAddress();
          Address bccAddress = new InternetAddress();
                 //new window code
               IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("SuccessWindow");
               IWDWindow window =wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
               window.open();
               window.setWindowPosition(300,300);
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setSuccess(window);
        try
               MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
               BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                 fromAddress = new InternetAddress(wdContext.currentContextElement().getFromEmail());
               message.setFrom(fromAddress);
               toAddress = new InternetAddress(wdContext.currentContextElement().getRfcEmail());
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setErr(wdContext.currentContextElement().getRfcEmail());
               message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
               message.setSubject(wdContext.currentContextElement().getMycontactDD());
               messageBodyPart.setText("Message From :"" " wdThis.wdGetMailAppController().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().getName()"\r\n""\r\n"+wdContext.currentContextElement().getTest());
               multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
               message.setContent(multipart);
               Transport.send(message);
             catch (AddressException e)
                         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e. getLocalizedMessage());
                          e.printStackTrace();
             catch (SendFailedException e)
                    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e. getLocalizedMessage());
                     e.printStackTrace();
             catch (MessagingException e)
                     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning( e.getLocalizedMessage());
                     e.printStackTrace();
Please award points if this helps as this will give you a hint for sending mails.
