I'm trying to send an email using package javax.mail.*
Everything works fine in eclipse, but after I export to Runnable Jar email won't send. Can you help me understand what might be the problem?
If there is a problem with using "using javax.mail.*" is there an alternative library to use?
When exporting I use "Package required libraries into generated JAR"
Thank you.

Taking into account not only your question but also what you wrote in the comment, the problem was that you were trying to run the jar file from the desktop with double click, which you can do with GUI apps, but not with console apps. For a console app you can create a .bat file starting the cmd and running the jar file in cmd. Then you can create a shortcut to the .bat file on your desktop and run it with double click.
The .bat file should look like this:
echo off
start cmd.exe /c
cd /d "d:\path_to_the_jar_file\"
java -jar "My Program.jar"
pause
echo on
I have a list of files that are created on application launch, and I want those files to be sent via email. The emails do send, but they don't have any attachments.
Here's the code:
private Multipart getAttachments() throws FileNotFoundException, MessagingException
{
File folder = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
File[] fileList = folder.listFiles();
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart("mixed");
for (File file : fileList)
{
// ext is valid, and correctly detects these files.
if (file.isFile() && StringFormatter.getFileExtension(file.getName()).equals("xls"))
{
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(file, file.getName()));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(file.getName());
mp.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
}
}
return mp;
}
There's no error, warning, or anything else. I even tried creating a Multipart named childPart and assigning it to mp through .setParent(), and that did not work either.
I am assigning the attachments this way:
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
Multipart mp = getAttachments();
msg.setContent(mp); // Whether I set it here, or next-to-last, it never works.
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("addressFrom"));
msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("addressTo"));
msg.setSubject("Subject name");
msg.setText("Message here.");
Transport.send(msg);
How do I correctly send multiple attachments via Java?

you can create a zip file from your desired folder and then send it as a normal file.

//Get the session object

// Get the Session object.
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(from, "Insert your password here");
}
});
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject("Write the subject");
String Final_ZIP = "C:\\Users\\Your Path\\Zipped.zip";
String FOLDER_TO_ZIP = "C:\\Users\\The folder path";
zip(FOLDER_TO_ZIP,Final_ZIP);
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("Write your text");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(Final_ZIP);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("ZippedFile.zip");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println(" Email has been sent successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
then the Zip Function is:
public static void zip( String srcPath, String zipFilePath) throws IOException {
Path zipFileCheck = Paths.get(zipFilePath);
if(Files.exists(zipFileCheck)) { // Attention here it is deleting the old file, if it already exists
Files.delete(zipFileCheck);
System.out.println("Deleted");
}

} catch (IOException e) {

});
}

If I change the setContent to multipart/mixed, I get:

Do you have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.
Remove
message.setText(mensagem);
Change
messageBodyPart.setContent(message, "multipart/mixed");
to
messageBodyPart.setText(mensagem);
and move it and the following line above the "for" loop.
Also, see this JavaMail FAQ entry of common mistakes.

Is it possible to send an email from my Java application using a GMail account? I have configured my company mail server with Java app to send email, but that's not going to cut it when I distribute the application. Answers with any of using Hotmail, Yahoo or GMail are acceptable.
First download the JavaMail API and make sure the relevant jar files are in your classpath.
Here's a full working example using GMail.
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class Main {
private static String USER_NAME = "*****"; // GMail user name (just the part before "#gmail.com")
private static String PASSWORD = "********"; // GMail password
private static String RECIPIENT = "lizard.bill#myschool.edu";
public static void main(String[] args) {
String from = USER_NAME;
String pass = PASSWORD;
String[] to = { RECIPIENT }; // list of recipient email addresses
String subject = "Java send mail example";
String body = "Welcome to JavaMail!";
sendFromGMail(from, pass, to, subject, body);
}
private static void sendFromGMail(String from, String pass, String[] to, String subject, String body) {
Properties props = System.getProperties();
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] toAddress = new InternetAddress[to.length];
// To get the array of addresses
for( int i = 0; i < to.length; i++ ) {
toAddress[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
}
for( int i = 0; i < toAddress.length; i++) {
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress[i]);
}
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, from, pass);
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
}
catch (AddressException ae) {
ae.printStackTrace();
}
catch (MessagingException me) {
me.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Naturally, you'll want to do more in the catch blocks than print the stack trace as I did in the example code above. (Remove the catch blocks to see which method calls from the JavaMail API throw exceptions so you can better see how to properly handle them.)
Thanks to #jodonnel and everyone else who answered. I'm giving him a bounty because his answer led me about 95% of the way to a complete answer.
Something like this (sounds like you just need to change your SMTP server):
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "user name";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", "asdfgh");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587"); // 587 is the port number of yahoo mail
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] to_address = new InternetAddress[to.length];
int i = 0;
// To get the array of addresses
while (to[i] != null) {
to_address[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
i++;
}
System.out.println(Message.RecipientType.TO);
i = 0;
while (to_address[i] != null) {
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to_address[i]);
i++;
}
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
// alternately, to send HTML mail:
// message.setContent("<p>Welcome to JavaMail</p>", "text/html");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in", "user name", "asdfgh");
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
Other people have good answers above, but I wanted to add a note on my experience here. I've found that when using Gmail as an outbound SMTP server for my webapp, Gmail only lets me send ~10 or so messages before responding with an anti-spam response that I have to manually step through to re-enable SMTP access. The emails I was sending were not spam, but were website "welcome" emails when users registered with my system. So, YMMV, and I wouldn't rely on Gmail for a production webapp. If you're sending email on a user's behalf, like an installed desktop app (where the user enters their own Gmail credentials), you may be okay.
Also, if you're using Spring, here's a working config to use Gmail for outbound SMTP:
<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
<property name="port" value="465"/>
<property name="username" value="${mail.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${mail.password}"/>
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<value>
mail.debug=true
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=java.net.SocketFactory
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false
</value>
</property>
</bean>
Even though this question is closed, I'd like to post a counter solution, but now using Simple Java Mail (Open Source JavaMail smtp wrapper):
final Email email = new Email();
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
Integer port = 587;
String from = "username";
String pass = "password";
String[] to = {"to#gmail.com"};
email.setFromAddress("", from);
email.setSubject("sending in a group");
for( int i=0; i < to.length; i++ ) {
email.addRecipient("", to[i], RecipientType.TO);
}
email.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
new Mailer(host, port, from, pass).sendMail(email);
// you could also still use your mail session instead
new Mailer(session).sendMail(email);
My complete code as below is working well:
package ripon.java.mail;

The posted code solutions may cause problems when you need to set up multiple SMTP sessions anywhere within the same JVM.
The JavaMail FAQ recommends using
Session.getInstance(properties);
instead of
Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
because the getDefault will only use the properties given the first time it is invoked. All later uses of the default instance will ignore property changes.
See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-135477.html#getdefaultinstance
Value added:
encoding pitfalls in subject, message and display name
only one magic property is needed for modern java mail library versions
Session.getInstance() recommended over Session.getDefaultInstance()
attachment in the same example
still works after Google turns off less secure apps: Enable 2-factor authentication in your organization -> turn on 2FA -> generate app password.

An easy route would be to have the gmail account configured/enabled for POP3 access. This would allow you to send out via normal SMTP through the gmail servers.
Then you'd just send through smtp.gmail.com (on port 587)

Example usage:
GmailSender sender = new GmailSender();
sender.setSender("myEmailNameWithout#gmail.com", "mypassword");
sender.addRecipient("recipient#somehost.com");
sender.setSubject("The subject");
sender.setBody("The body");
sender.addAttachment("TestFile.txt");
sender.send();
