How to use JavaMail

Hi,
I want to send an email through a servlet using the
javaMail API. I haven't used it before and have no idea on how to use it. I used the oreilly classes in the past but now I want to send attachments. Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance,

This is a sample
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filepath and name);
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp2.setFileName(fds.getName());
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);

How to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0)

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possible and how to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0), Windows version.
With the following code, I can see that the mail.jar used by the server is the one included in the jdk installation :
// I'm testing InternetAddress.class because I want to use commons-email-1.2.jar that requires mail.jar 1.4 (or higher) and activation.jar 1.1 (or higher)
// and I know that inside the commons-email-1.2.jar file, I need to call the InternetAddress.validate() method that throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.validate()V if it is used with mail.jar 1.2.
Class cls = javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.class;
java.security.ProtectionDomain pDomain = cls.getProtectionDomain();
java.security.CodeSource cSource = pDomain.getCodeSource();
java.net.URL location = cSource.getLocation();
System.out.println(location.toString());
This code returns : file:/C:/oracle/app/jdk/jre/lib/ext/mail.jar and this mail.jar file has an implementation version number: 1.2
- I've tried to include my own mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the war file that I deploy, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I've tried to put the mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the applib directory of my OC4J instance, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I know that a patch exists : I've read the following document: How to Make Libraries such as mail.jar and activation.jar Swappable ? [ID 552432.1]
This article talks about the Patch 6514136, but this patch only applies to : Oracle Containers for J2EE - Version: 10.1.3.3.0
Can you please help me ?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Laurent

I strongly suggest to upgrade to AS 10.1.3 to get this.
Think of future support of AS 9.0.4. You will get not critical patch updates anymore.

How to use JavaMail to receive incomming email?

Hello,
I am a year 3 student and doing a final year project about web hosting.
I want to know how to use JavaMail to receive and treat the incomming email. It means that the incoming email how to process and store the "message" in the recipient "folder" in the "store" class.
If you have any optinions or examples or suggestion, please contact me.
Thank you for your attention....

First, it would be better to post questions about JavaMail in the JavaMail forum and not in the JSP forum.
Second, the JavaMail download comes with a set of examples, including some that cover exactly what you ask.

How to use Javamail for accessing additional mailboxes -IMAP, Exchange 2010

hi,
I want to access a shared mailbox (NOT FOLDER) via Javamail API (1.4.5) using IMAP(s) with plain logon. The mailserver is a Exchange Server 2010.
User: user1 ([email protected])
pwd: xxxx
shared mailbox: [email protected]
Properties:
mail.imaps.socketFactory.port = 993
mail.imaps.starttls.enable = true
mail.imaps.socketFactory.class = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.imaps.socketFactory.fallback = false
username = [email protected]
password = xxxx
I´ve managed to get access to the user1 - mailbox:
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, new ExchangeAuthenticator(username, password));
session.setDebug(true);
Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect(imapHost, username, password);
--> this works just fine! But now i want to access the additional mailbox by changing the login-String:
[email protected]/shared_MB (user@domain/additional_MB)
--> unfortunately I´m getting an "NO AUTHENTICATE" message:
DEBUG: setDebug: JavaMail version 1.4.5
DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[STORE,imaps,com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPSSLStore,Sun Microsystems, Inc]

I was able to get access with Thunderbird and also with the Exchange OWA-Client, so I think there is something missing in my code...
or is it just impossible to get access to a different mailbox using javamail and plain-auth?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks bshannon, that was a great idea!
I haven´t found an solution yet, but I have maybe identified the real problem:
Here is some interessting Thunderbird - Logging stuff:

Unfortunately I have no idea what that actually means or how to use it in Javamail (is it even supported?). Any suggestions?

Here's how you use JavaMail in a Netscape 4.x applet

First of all... Sun has said that they are working on patching JavaMail for the next minor release so that it will be usable with Netscape.
But for those with itchy pants... here's how you do to send mail from a Netscape 4.x applet without using the Java Plug-in.
First of all... you'll need to sign the applet. Now I'm not so good with singing tools so I don't know if Netscape 4.x allows using Sun's signing tools. I used Netscapes own "signtool" just to be sure.
You'll need to unjar activation.jar and mail.jar (or mailapi.jar plus smtp.jar). Use signtool to sign and jar your own classfiles plus those from the jar-files mentioned.
This creates a small problem though: atcivation.jar and mail.jar has files in the META-INF directory. Netscapes signtool ignores these files. So you'll have to patch around that.
Using the "sendfile.java" demo as basis... here's how you deal with the missing configuration files.
    // You'll have to request this privilige or Netscape will bolt on you.
    // If you need cross-platfor compatibility you'll need to wrap this up or IE
    // will be really cranky at this. Try by doing something you know
    // IE accepts but that Netscape don't. Catch the exception as just an
    // Exception and do the following in the catch.
    try {
      PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalPropertyRead");
    } catch (netscape.security.ForbiddenTargetException e2) {
      System.out.println("Failed! Permission to read system properties denied by user.");
    } catch (Exception e2) {
      System.out.println("Failed! Unknown exception while enabling privilege.");
      e2.printStackTrace(System.out);
    // create some properties and get the default Session
    Properties props = null;
    props = System.getProperties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailhost);
    // The mailcap command map needs a missing
    // config file. So you'll have to hardwire the different
    // commands like this.
    javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap commandMap = new javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap();
    commandMap.addMailcap("text/plain;;          x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain");
    commandMap.addMailcap("text/html;;          x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_html");
    commandMap.addMailcap("text/xml;;          x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_xml");
    commandMap.addMailcap("multipart/*;;          x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed");
    commandMap.addMailcap("message/rfc822;;     x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.message_rfc822");
    commandMap.addMailcap("image/gif;;          x-java-view=com.sun.activation.viewers.ImageViewer");
    commandMap.addMailcap("image/jpeg;;          x-java-view=com.sun.activation.viewers.ImageViewer");
    commandMap.addMailcap("text/*;;          x-java-view=com.sun.activation.viewers.TextViewer");
    commandMap.addMailcap("text/*;;          x-java-edit=com.sun.activation.viewers.TextEditor");
    javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap.setDefaultCommandMap(commandMap);
    // Now here is a really weird thing. This class - MimeUtility - will
    // be used later on. But the ClassLoader in Netscape seems
    // to be broken. I downloaded J2EE and fiddled with this class a bit.
    // It seems that the following line will get you around this problem.
    Object o = MimeUtility.class;
    try {
      // create a message
      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
      session.setDebug(true);
      MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
      msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
      InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
      msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
      msg.setSubject("Message from scratchpad");
      // create and fill the first message part
      MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
      mbp1.setText(message);
      // create the second message part
      MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
      // attach the file to the message
      // This is not the same as the original.
      // The ByteArrayDataSource class helps you attach an arbitrary file-type.
      // The code for that is found here:
      // http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=43&thread=73819
      DataSource ds = new ByteArrayDataSource(imageData, "image/gif", "image.gif");
      mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(ds));
      mbp2.setFileName("image.gif");
      // create the Multipart and its parts to it
      Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
      mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
      mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
      // add the Multipart to the message
      msg.setContent(mp);
      // set the Date: header
      msg.setSentDate(new Date());
      // send the message
      // Transport.send() will give you exception in Netscape.
      // Here is how you do what that method does.
      msg.saveChanges();
      com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport transport = new com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport(session, null);
      transport.connect();

Typical... i knew I'd fumble. There is one more thing you need to do.
Download J2EE, source code edition and patch the file javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.java
Change the line
InputStream is = javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.class.getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/javamail.charset.map");...to...
InputStream is = javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.class.getResourceAsStream("/javamail.charset.map");Also, after you unjar the jarfiles and before you run the signtool, move the file META-INF/javamail.charset.map to the partent of the META-INF directory.

How to attach a file to an email without using JavaMail

hi everyone!
I'm trying to develope a program wich has to send email messages with attached files. Specifications say that I can't use JavaMail. So I'm trying to use SMTP. It's a very simple protocol, but I haven't found how to send attached files.
Any suggestion or source code? Thanx Very much!!!

you will need to add a mime body to the data as done in the example message (i found it somewhere on teh internet so don't blame me for erors in it ;) )
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
DATA
Mime-version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=OpenVMS/MIME.572522828.951855
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline
We have modified this to send with SFF for SMTP - TCPIP
Services for OpenVMS.
--OpenVMS/MIME.572522828.951855736
for info about how to use mime look at the RFC of mime (just do a google search)

How to send one email to multi-users using JavaMail ?

I am using JavaMail API. I am working in "sending emails to users", I had already tested "one email to one user" and got success but when tried to send one email to multi-users then I failed to do that?
Can anyone help me to do this?
I have used the below code to send to multi-user:
Address[] toAddr = {new InternetAddress(_to),new InternetAddress (to2)};
msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddr);
But it is static only 2 users. I want to send to multi-users dynamically taking datas from database.
I have tried by using below code but it doesn't work.....
InternetAddress[] emails;
while (resultset.next()) {
temp = resultset.getString(1);
emails.setAddress(temp);
i++;
Address[] toAddr = emails;
msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddr);
Thank you in advance...
-ritesh

I think you're confused about some basic Java programming techniques.
There are two obvious ways to do this.
1. Call the addRecipient method in a loop.
2. Collect all the recipients in a List, convert it to an array, and call addRecipients.

Problem Sending mails in a loop using JavaMail API

Hello All,
I am sending emails in a loop(one after the other) using JavaMail API,but the problem is, if the first two,three email addresses in the loop are Valid it sends the Email Properly, but if the Fourth or so is Invalid Address it throws an Exception....
"javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;"
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 450 <[email protected]>:Recipient address rejected: Domain not found......
So if i want to send hundereds of emails and if one of the Emails inbetween is Invalid the process Stops at that point and i could not send the other emails in the Loop......
How Could i Trap the exception thrown and handle it in such a way, so that the loops continues ..
Is there something with the SMTP Server....?
The code which i am using is as follows....
<Code>...
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Session session = (Session) ic.lookup(JNDINames.MAIL_SESSION);
if (Debug.debuggingOn)
session.setDebug(true);
// construct the message
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(eMess.getEmailSender()));
String to = "";
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
InternetAddress.parse(eMess.getEmailReceiver(), false));
msg.setSubject(eMess.getSubject());
msg.setContent(eMess.getHtmlContents(),"text/plain");
msg.saveChanges();
Transport.send(msg);
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.print("createAndSendMail exception : " + e);
throw new MailerAppException("Failure while sending mail");
</Code>....
Please give me any suggestions regarding it....and guide me accordingly..
Thanks a million in advance...

Sam

How about something like the code attached here. Be aware it is lifted and edited out of an app we have here so it may require changing to get it to work. If it don't work - don't come asking for help as this is only a rough example of one way of doing it. RTFM - that's how we worked it out!
SH
try {
Transport.send(msg);
// If we get to here then the mail went OK so update all the records in the email as sent
System.out.println("Email sent OK");
catch (MessagingException mex) {
System.out.println("Message error");
Exception ex = mex;
do {
if (ex instanceof SendFailedException) {
if (ex.getMessage().startsWith("Sending failed")) {
// Ignore this message as we want to know the real reason for failure
// If we get an Invalid Address error or a Message partially delivered message process the message
if (ex.getMessage().startsWith("Message partially delivered")
|| ex.getMessage().startsWith("Invalid Addresses")) {
// This message is of interest as we need to process the actual individual addresses
System.out.println(ex.getMessage().substring(0, ex.getMessage().indexOf(";")));
// Now get the addresses from the SendFailedException
SendFailedException sfex = (SendFailedException) ex;
Address[] invalid = sfex.getInvalidAddresses();
if (invalid != null) {
System.out.println("Invalid Addresse(s) found -");
if (invalid.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < invalid.length; x++) {
System.out.println(invalid[x].toString().trim());

if (ex instanceof MessagingException)

// This is a general catch all and we should assume that no messages went and should stop
System.out.println(ex.toString());
throw ex;
