Java Mail - newbie

Hi All,
I am a new bie to java mail, i am trying to run the msgsend.java in the demo. I am using eclipse and i have added the activation.jar and mail.jar in the classpath. still it says unable to resolve javax.mail.*
can anyone help me
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Venki

I know nothing about Eclipse...
You probably need to add the jar files to your project or something
like that, rather than just adding them to the classpath when you
start Eclipse. You can also try putting them in the jre/lib/ext directory
of the JDK that Eclipse is using.

END OF PROGRAM 2
P.S: CHECKING !!
STEP 1.
First compile and execute the PROGRAM 1 with your USERNAME & PASSWORD. This will send a mail to your own account.
STEP 2.
Now compile both PART 1 & PART 2 of PROGRAM 2. Then, execute PART 1 - Main.java. This will retrive the mail sent in step 1. njoy! :)
In future, I hope this is added to the demo programs of the Java Mail API download package.
This is for 3 main reasons...
1. To prevent a lot of silly questions being posted on this forum [like the ones I did :(].
2. To give the first time Java Mail user with a real time working example without code modification [code has to use command line args like the demo programs - for instant results].
3. Also, this is what google has to say..
"The Gmail Team is committed to making sure you always can access your mail. That's why we're offering POP access and auto-forwarding. Both features are free for all Gmail users and we have no plans to charge for them in the future."

I guess bshannon & Java Mail team is hearing this....
Again, Hurray and thanks for helping me make it!! cheers & no more frowned faces!!

Thanks for the reply,
I did checked by enabling session debuging and also checked pop settings it's enabled for all
mails, I tried deleting some very old messages and now the message count is changed to 310.
This may be the problem with gmail.
Bellow is the output i got,

Can java mail be used for distributed exchange server?

H,
I am trying to connect to MS Exchange Server to read my mails using Java Mail API.
I have a questions about using it with Exchange server.
We have 6-7 exchange servers in our company and different users have mailboxes on different servers. My internet mail application will be used by everybody in the company.
But while connecting to exchange server using java mail I can only cnnnect to one server and port. What happens when user mailbox is not on that server. How can I use javamail in this scenario where user mailboxes are on separate servers??
Thanks

You said that you can connect to Exchange server my you help me with this because i cant connect to Exchange server, mayby you can post me a code example? Thanks

How to delete message from the fodler of AOL account using Java mail

Hello All,
I am using Java MAil API in my application, i want to delete message from AOL account's folder,
when i set the folder as "Recently Deleted" or "Trash" , i get an exception as "folder does not exist".
when i tested , some times mail is moving into Recently Deleted folder, but not every time.
this is happening in both the interface as AOl Interface or my application.
when i use folder.close(true) after setting the flag of message as DELETED. it completely remove the message from the acount.
but i want to let the message be remained in the Recently Deleted folder. what should i do.
i dont want to remove the message completely from the account.I am using IMAP also.

You'll need to figure out what the real name of the "Recently Deleted" folder is on the AOL IMAP server
(assuming it's a real folder and not some sort of "virtual" folder), then copy the message into that folder.
See the folderlist.java demo program as a way to explore the names of all the folders on the server.

Error while sending mail when using Java Mail API

Hi Experts,
I am trying to execute a webdynpro application which uses the Java Mail API to send emails. The exception that I get on executing the application is :
Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]
Can anybody please help me sort out the issue.
Regards
Abdullah

Hi,
Usually one get this error if the SMTP server is configured not to relay mails (a security measure) or the SMTP server need the mail to be sent from a trusted IP or with proper authentication. Some SMTP servers are configured to block junk mails.
Pls check with your mail server administrator.

I want to read email from microsoft exchangeserver 2010 and save attachement into a folder.I created an Java program to import attachments from a exchange server mailbox using "POP3S".It works fine when run as a java application.But when i put this inside Oracle11g R2 using load java and while executing from a procedure it gives an error at parsing message into Multipart
Error at line : Multipart mp = (Multipart)m.getContent();
Error:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="_002_A0C2E09A..................................."
java.lang.ClassCastException
at mailPop3.checkmail(mailPop3:71)
My Java Class is as follows,
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.Date;
The function i used to check for attachments is given below.
public static boolean hasAttachments(Message m) throws java.io.IOException, MessagingException
Boolean hasAttachments = false;
try
// if it is a plain/html text - no attachements
if (m.isMimeType("text/*"))
return hasAttachments;
else if (m.isMimeType("multipart/alternative"))
return hasAttachments;
else if (m.isMimeType("multipart/*"))
Multipart mp = (Multipart)m.getContent();
if (mp.getCount() > 1)
hasAttachments = true;
return hasAttachments;
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
return hasAttachments;
My Java Details as follows
java Version :1.5.0_10
java.vm.specification.version:1.0
java.vm.version :1.5.0_01
java.specification.version:1.5
java.class.version:48.0
Java mail API:javamail-1.4.4
Used Jars:mail.jar
Could someone explain why I am getting this error? What can I do to resolve this error?
Is any other Jar need other than mail.jar?
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is regarding CBMA in SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.

This is regarding CBMA in single stack SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the alert mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.
So I need to set up PI to redirect mails to ECC Business workplace user inbox (sbwp). From here rules are set up & routed per distribution list.
Please guide me how I can achieve this requirement.

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

The exception is occurring when parsing the Content-Disposition header.
I don't see that header in the list of headers you provided.
Can you save the entire message to a text file using
msg.writeTo(new FileOutputStream("msg.txt"));
Then look for the Content-Disposition header in msg.txt. Most likely you'll
find that it is incorrectly formatted - as the exception says, there's a comma
in a place that a semicolon is expected.

Java Mail Madness - Doesn't Work but shows no errors ?

What's up folks. I am trying to implement the java mail library. Unfortunately, I have a problem and I don't know how to track it down. Here is the code that I run in the Netbeans IDE.
import java.io.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SendApp {
public static void send(String smtpHost, int smtpPort,
String from, String to,
String subject, String content)
throws AddressException, MessagingException {
// Create a mail session
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", ""+smtpPort);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
// Construct the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setText(content);
// Send the message
Transport.send(msg);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Send a test message
send("kernel", 25, "jd@kernel", "[email protected]",
"re: dinner", "How about at 7?");
Where kernel is the domain name of my computer. However, when I check my email at [email protected] (fake address) I don't see anything and the program exits with success. I don't know if this is cause of a problem with my Netbeans, my code, or my postfix smtp system. Any help is greatly appreciated !
SIncerely,
Justin Dallas

Hi,
Did you checked the log for any errors
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception while sending mail" + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
Or else add the following line in your exception handler and check whether their is any error or not.
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage());

Cannot use Java Mail in Oracle 8i

I have loaded Sun's API Java Mail (and Java Activator) into
an Oracle 8.1.5 server running on a Windows NT 4.0 server.
I have also created a small Java-application that tries to
send emails. The application is stored in database as a stored
procedure.
However, when I try to send a mail through my stored procedure
I get the message:
'ORA-01041 internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist'
followed by an end-of-channel error.
It works fine when I run my Java-program stand-alone, without
any database involved.
I need some help with this one...
