Is javamail for me?

Project:
Creating a java program which shows images on the screen and some
buttons below them. What I plan to do is, when the button is pressed, a new
web page comes up and lets the user know what they have ordered. On the
new page, for them to send this information to me, they hit the "send" button.
My questions:
Once the send button is hit, do you think javamail would be able to handle this?
If so, does the user have to have javamail on their system. Do they have to
have an email account or can I use mine to send the page to me? I've checked
out the javamail tutorial and it seems to contradict itself as to the purpose.

Yes, it was. It had seemed that this area was pretty dead and me being a
newby should post this in the newby area. Sorry if I caused any
inconvenience.

Need to setup javamail for testing

Hi team, I am new to Java. I am not able to compile javamail application. I download javamail-1.4.1 and jaf-1.0.2 under c:\.
I was update a classpath like this.
.;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_16\bin;c:\javamail-1.4.1\mail.jar;c:\jaf-1.0.2\activation\activation.jar.
Here is my program
public static void main(String[] args) {
// SUBSTITUTE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES HERE!!!
String to = "[email protected]";
String from = "[email protected]";
// SUBSTITUTE YOUR ISP'S MAIL SERVER HERE!!!
String host = "mail.yahoo.com";
// Create properties, get Session
Properties props = new Properties();
// If using static Transport.send(),
// need to specify which host to send it to
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
// To see what is going on behind the scene
props.put("mail.debug", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
try {
// Instantiatee a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
//Set message attributes
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject("Test E-Mail through Java");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// Set message content
msg.setText("This is a test of sending a " +
"plain text e-mail through Java.\n" +
"Here is line 2.");
//Send the message
Transport.send(msg);
catch (MessagingException mex) {
// Prints all nested (chained) exceptions as well
mex.printStackTrace();
}//End of class
When i compile this program i am getting below message

Thanks in Advance

Hopefully it was clear from the error message that javac didn't even try to
compile your program. Perhaps you need to name your file "TestEmail.java"
instead of "TestEmail.Java"?
Also, if you're still using JDK 1.4.2, it's way past time to upgrade. JDK 1.6 has
been available for a long time. And you don't need the JDK directory in your
CLASSPATH.
Finally, double check that the mail.jar and activation.jar files exist at the
locations you used in your CLASSPATH. That's not your current problem,
but it will be important later.

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

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?

JavaMail for receiving mail?

I've used JavaMail in the past, but always as a client sending SMTP messages. Now I have a need to write a specialized app for receiving mail, processing it, and then sending it as an SNMP trap.(using API's from something like Trap Console)
We have systems on our network that do not have the ability to send SNMP traps and that is our primary way of getting information about problems.
Anyway, can I use JavaMail to write a server that will listen on port 25 like a standard SMTP mail server and receive mail so I can process it another way?
Are there any code samples available anywhere for receiving mail?
Thanks,
James

I don't know if this will help but you might want to take a look at james. Here's more info:

Javamail for Netscape

Hello all....
I'm trying to devise a way to have the user fill out a form, and then send this form to a JSP and mail the data to a coworker.
The JavaMail API seems like an absolutely wonderful way to go, but here's the problem: JavaMail is not supported by Netscape, due to restrictions by Netscape (info about that: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#browsers ). The Sun site recommends using the Java Plug-In, but nowhere in their documentation can I find any info on sending mail.
Being a government project, I unfortunately HAVE to support both Netscape and Explorer. Any ideas? Ways to use the Java Plug-In for mail? Alternative methods? Any feedback would be appreciated.

That seems like a logical conclusion to me, but here's a snippet from the JavaMail FAQ that I linked to above:
Q: Do the JavaMail APIs work in web browsers?
A: We have successfully run in the HotJava TM Browser and Internet Explorer. JavaMail APIs won't work in Netscape Communicator due to their restrictions on resources that can be accessed. (Although you can use the Java Plug-in with Netscape.)
It seems to me that this is saying you can't run a JSP using JavaMail on a Netscape brower. Am I misinterpreting this?

Is there any limit of JavaMail for sending mails?

When am sending more than 700 mails at a time then error appears that "server is too busy please try again"
Is there any deficiency in my code or limitations in JavaMail ?
Thanks & best regards

The limitation is in your server.

where , "java" is my system name, and there is also mail server on my system. and my system is connected with proxy server..
when i am trying
mailProp.put("mail.smtp.host", "java");
then i am getting same type of error...
so, what is that ? pls help me to solve my error...

Surely there's more information associated with that MessaginException than
you've included here.
Turn on session debugging and run your program again.

Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

Hi All,
Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't understand your problem:
You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

SMTPSendFailedException: 550 : your email program is used for spam

I'm using javamail for quite a long time, but recently I sometimes receive this error while sending a mail.
SMTPSendFailedException: 550 Error: You used an email program that is used almost exclusively for spam.
If using Outlook , I have no problem sending to the same address, using the same SMTP.
I suppose the 'javamail' in the message ID is responsible for this.
Anyone else with same problem, any ideas on how to avoid this?

You should talk to the administrator of your mail server and find out
what it's matching on to determine this. If it's the message ID, you can
change the message ID to whatever you want.
I assume, of course, that you're not actually sending spam...

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");

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.

Problems with javamail

The JavaMail FAQ has tips for debugging, pointers to sample programs, and much more. Start there.
In particular, a protocol trace will help us figure out what's not working.

Evaluating debug src, and 'Unable to relay for ...'

hello.
i wanted to know if there is any possibility to evaluate the string that is returned using debug mode in javamail. for example to know wheter conn to mailserver was ok. wether sender or recipient was ok and so on.so that i can (for example) build in some if-clauses to stop (and give a mesage to the current user 'conn failed') or retry some processes.
my second question is, that i sometimes get an error sending mails. the app is running on a tomcat server (localhost). after restarting the tomcat, it works again. after a while (2 or 3 days) it gives me the error message again ('Unable to relay for')here is my exception:

JavaMail Gmail Exception when reading mails

I am using JavaMail for reading messages in a gmail account.
My general problem is validationException. My code is the following.
public class MessagesReader {
     public static String usage = "Usage: java gmailTest user password subject";
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String username = "username";
          String password = "password";
          Properties pop3Props = new Properties();
          Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
          pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.user", username);
          pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.passwd", password);
          pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.ssl", "true");
          pop3Props.setProperty("mail.pop3.host", "pop.gmail.com");
          try {
               checkForMessage(pop3Props, null);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public static void checkForMessage(Properties props, String msgSubject)
               throws NoSuchProviderException, MessagingException {
          Session session = null;
          Store store = null;
          String user = ((props.getProperty("mail.pop3.user") != null) ? props
                    .getProperty("mail.pop3.user") : props.getProperty("mail.user"));
          String passwd = ((props.getProperty("mail.pop3.passwd") != null) ? props
                    .getProperty("mail.pop3.passwd")
                    : props.getProperty("mail.passwd"));
          String host = ((props.getProperty("mail.pop3.host") != null) ? props
                    .getProperty("mail.pop3.host") : props.getProperty("mail.host"));

               // configure the appropriate properties so JavaMail doesn't
               // fall back to an unsecure connection when a secure one fails:
               props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
               String portStr = ((props.getProperty("mail.pop3.port") != null) ? props
                         .getProperty("mail.pop3.port")
                         : "995");
               //change the default port number to the corresponding port that your protocol's secure version uses;
               //otherwise, you must use a fully qualified address (that includes a port number) in the URL passed
               //to JavaMail (for example, imap://id:[email protected]:993/folder/), or else you get an
               //"unrecognized SSL handshake" exception. You specify these properties like so:
               props.setProperty("mail.pop3.port", portStr);
               props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", portStr);
               URLName url = new URLName("pop3://" + user + ":" + passwd + "@"
                         + host + ":" + portStr);
               session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
               store = new POP3SSLStore(session, url);
               //Unfortunately, you may realize that the code above throws an SSLException "untrusted server cert chain"
               //if the mail server certificate is not installed locally. In that case, you should obtain a correct,
               //valid certificate for the server and use the keytool utility to add it to a local key storage at
               //<javahome>\jre\lib\security\cacerts.
          } else {
               session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
               store = session.getStore("pop3");
          session.setDebug(true);
          store.connect(host, user, passwd);
          Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
          folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
          Message[] allMsgs = folder.getMessages();
          for (int i = 0; i < allMsgs.length; i++) {
               System.out.println(allMsgs.getSubject());
          folder.close(true);
          store.close();
When I execute the above code I get the following exception:

I have the gmail certificate. Taken from the padlock of the gmail browser page and so I have a gmail.cer.
I know that I have to use a keytool to do something that I have not understand.
Can you please give me some instructions?
Or the forementioned exception has any other solution??
Thanking you in advance

Let me explain... just consider connectToServer
there is SSL.equalsIgnoreCase("true") which is google.. this is what you want in this if statement... it configure the properties of google... try it..

Is javamail for me?
