Trying to send an email using java mail api. And I keep getting MailConnectException. I have tried multiple ways to solve it without success.
Exception is thrown by this statement
transport.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "someone#gmail.com", "myPassword");
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
public static void main(String[] args) {
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "someone#gmail.com";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", "myPassword");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
try{
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, "someone#hotmail.com");
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "someone#gmail.com", "myPassword");//CAUSES EXCEPTION
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
}catch(MessagingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

This looks like network problem. Even though it could occur due to variety of reasons, like :-
"Couldn't connect to host, port" could be caused by wrong host name, wrong port, a blocking firewall (on the server, on gateways, even on your own machine), network failure, server downtime, etc.
Can you connect to the mail server using telnet ?
Also see this FAQ for some mistakes you committed http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/faq/index.html#commonmistakes
Read this answer on how to send emails using gmail https://stackoverflow.com/a/47452/3107043
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587"); transport.send(message);
After 8 hours of pain, I've solved this by turning off:
1) my windows firewall
2) my antivirus software
hope this helps
I met the same problem, and the reason is that I opened a vpn. Hope this will be helpful.
For me, de-activating firewall and anti-virus did not work.
I tried the alternate ports given in the mailtrap's SMTP settings
25 or 465 or 587 or 2525
changing spring.mail.port to 2525 in the applications.properties file worked for me
Open /etc/postfix/main.cf

I'm trying to connect to a mail server using IMAP protocol and proxies with the JavaxMail library. Yet they seem not to work.
Properties properties = new Properties();
List<Message> messages = new ArrayList<>();
Host host = Host.getHostByMail(mail);
properties.put("proxySet", "true");
properties.put("mail.imap.proxy.host", "proxy host");
properties.put("mail.imap.proxy.port", "proxy port");
properties.put("mail.imap.proxy.user", "proxy user");
properties.put("mail.imap.proxy.password", "proxy passwd");
properties.put("mail.imap.host", host.toString());
properties.put("mail.imap.port", "143");
properties.put("mail.imap.starttls.enable", "true");
Session emailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
Store store = emailSession.getStore("imap");
store.connect(host.toString(), mail, passwd);
Folder readOnly = store.getFolder("INBOX");
readOnly.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
FlagTerm unseenFlagTerm = new FlagTerm(new Flags(Flags.Flag.SEEN), false);
When I try to use this code it gives me this error:

I've seen all questions and answers about this problem, I've read the FAQ, tried all solutions which I've found, except writing my own one, I've turned off less secure app Gmail and so on. I've checked telnet connection, of course, tried to ping smtp.gmail.com and everything works fine. Even I've written (to be sure) small application on C# which took me 5 minutes (and this one works!). Please give me a clue how can I solve this issue. For every solution using ttl or ssl I get this stacktrace

I've disabled firewall completely.
Even I've used some wrappers around JavaMail Api to send letters and internally they were falling with this exception!
I want to send small email using java!
for exmaple, this code produce error specified above

The configuration details look OK to me.
The big clue is that you are getting "Connection refused". In theory, there are a few possible explanations for this:
The smtp.gmail.com servers are all down. This is highly unlikely.
The smtp.gmail.com servers may have black-listed your IP address or a network range containing your IP address. (Perhaps the gmail.com servers have been getting too much SPAM via your ISP.)
Maybe there is a country-wide block on emails. (For example, it has been claimed that China does this sometimes.)
Maybe ISP is blocking the connection to smtp.gmail.com on those ports ... or maybe all outbound connections on this ports. This may be done to prevent spamming by your ISP's customers. Check your ISP's terms and conditions regarding sending emails, and check for information on how you should do it.
Maybe your organization is blocking the connection to smtp.gmail.com. This could be done so that they can monitor all out-going emails. It could also be done to prevent spamming or behavior that could be interpreted as spamming. Check with your local IT and network managers.
Maybe it is your machine's internal firewall. (Though you say that you disabled it ...)
There is one simple test you can do to validate this. Use the "telnet" command to try to connect to smtp.gmail.com on those two ports. If you get a "Connection refused", it is strong evidence of some kind of blocking somewhere.
Finally, if the ports appear to be open, check what you are doing against this tutorial page:
https://www.mkyong.com/java/javamail-api-sending-email-via-gmail-smtp-example/
After one and a half of day I've found a problem. It was due to avg antivirus or to say it more correctly avg virus. It was turned off (as he has displayed me), but I've noticed some avg advertisment attached to messages sent with application written on C#, I've found a way to definitely turn it off. And it works now!
I have the following method for retrieving messages from Gmail using imap
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Properties props = new Properties();
try
{
props.load(new FileInputStream(new File("smtp.properties")));
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "******#gmail.com", "mypass");
Folder inbox = store.getFolder("inbox");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
int messageCount = inbox.getMessageCount();
Message[] messages = inbox.getMessages();
System.out.println("------------------------------");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
System.out.println("Mail Subject:- " + messages[i].getSubject());
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
my smtp.properties contains
mail.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.port=465

How can I fix the issue?
First, clean up all these common mistakes. You don't need any socket factories.
Then try these connection debugging tips.
Possibly you have a firewall or anti-virus program that's preventing you from connecting.
The problem is that the default TLS version in JAVA jre1.8.0_141 1.0, however due to vulnerabilities in 1.0 a lot of email servers no longer accept connections. To instead use 1.2 directly in code this instruction worked for me when creating properties for sending mail:
props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.protocols", "TLSv1.2");
For example:
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailHost);
props.put("mail.smtps.auth", mailAuth);
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", mailProtocol);
props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.protocols", "TLSv1.2");
// Get a Session object
Session sess = Session.getInstance(props, null);
// construct the message
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(sess);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailUser));
Also note, you could just set that same property in the properties file you're loading (smtp.properties) at the start of your try block.
Are there more stacktraces? Older Java versions have problems with TLS handshakes with RSA keys with more than 1024 bit (may be also with keys having exactly bit byte).
This was fixed in Java 1.7 or Java 1.8.
try adding below to the properties:
properties.put("mail.smtp.ssl.trust", "smtp.gmail.com");
I can send email, but I am unable to read the emails.
Here is my code to connect to the mail server:
String host = "na-*****.*****.****.ea.com";
String username = "*****#*******.ea.com";
String password = "********";
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
session.setDebug(true);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(host, username, password);
Whenever I try to read email using the code,it throws the following error:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly, or if more information is needed?
there are multiple email protocols (pop3, imap, exchange, etc) and depending on which protocol you want you will need to find a library (or roll your own) to speak the protocol of choice to access and download emails from a server.
I would suggest looking at the JavaMail API

The James Server is already running, I don't get the reason of the above exception. Is this because James doesn't support this protocol or there any other reason?
Here's the source code of Javamail application, which is trying to connect to James Server:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class mail{
public static void main(String[] argts){
try {
Properties props=new Properties();
props.put("mail.host", "127.0.0.1 ");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth","true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("blue", "blue");
}
});
int Spam=0;
Store store=session.getStore("imap");
store.connect("localhost", "red", "red");
Folder folder=store.getFolder("IMAPFolder");
Folder folder1=store.getFolder("Spam");
boolean b=folder1.create(Spam);
System.out.println(b);
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
A quick check is to see if you can talk to your IMAP server simply by using telnet:
telnet localhost 143
and if this doesn't connect, then James isn't publishing an IMAP connection (assuming the standard IMAP port).
I see from the below that you're using James 2.x. This link suggests that IMAP isn't supported.
Looks more like a network configuration error (can you ping it)
Check that 127.0.0.1 is setup correctly (and get rid of that space)
