I am trying to send mail using JAVAMAIL API with GMAIL SMTP on port 465.
Now, I setup my outlook smtp.gmail.com with port 465 and I was able to send e-mail using outlook. So, I am sure it can be done using javamail as well. However, when I tried the same with javamail, I keep getting the following authentication error: Coud someone please let mne know how to get rid of this error and make my code work?I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Venkat

Following is the snippet of my code:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("mail.smtp.user", "vkat007@gmail.com");
p.put("mail.smtp.host", mailhost);
p.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
p.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
p.put( "mail.smtp.auth ", "true ");
p.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
p.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
p.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
p.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");


SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
System.out.println("Security Manager" security);


try {
Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
Session session = Session.getInstance(p, auth);
session.setDebug(true);

//session = Session.getDefaultInstance(p);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
Address fromAddr = new InternetAddress("vkat007@gmail.com");
msg.setFrom(fromAddr);
Address toAddr = new InternetAddress(_to);
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddr);
System.out.println("Message: " msg.getContent());
Transport.send(msg);
}
catch (Exception mex) { // Prints all nested (chained) exceptions as well
System.out.println("I am here??? ");
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}

private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {

public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("vkat007@gmail.com", "xxxxxxxxxxx"); // password not displayed here, but gave the right password in my actual code.
}
}

 

 

return new PasswordAuthentication("vkat007@gmail.com", "xxxxxxxxxxx");
instead to typing your complete email address try
typing your userid and password. then execute the code.
return new PasswordAuthentication("vkat007", "xxxxxxxxxxx");

 

 

Tried that but no luck!!

 

 

There is a space issue
remove the space after "mail.smtp.auth " and after "true "

p.put("mail.smtp.auth ", "true ");
p.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");] // replace the above line with this

 

 

I am also facing the same problem. Have u found the solution. Please reply me if u have solved it.
Thanks.

Does it require any other configurations to make this work?

 

 

Venkat,

Thanks your code helped me to get connected to the gmail smtp server very quickly.

Use:

p.put( "mail.smtps.auth ", "true ");

(with the extra s) and it will work.

Ade

 

 

can u post your code, please. I cant connect to the server.

 

 

System.setProperty("mail.smtps.auth", "true");

Was what worked for me. Thanks!

The JavaMail FAQ has details on connecting to Gmail.

You can enable use of STARTTLS by setting the session property
"mail.smtp.starttls.enable" to "true".

 

 

Could You Please send me complete code.

Thanks

 

 

You have the complete code. It's included with the
JavaMail download bundle. Use the instructions in the
FAQ to invoke the demo programs with the correct
parameters and it will work.

 

 

This code works perfectly fine to send mail from gmail.

import java.security.Security;
import java.util.Properties;
 
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
 
 
public class SimpleMail 
{
	private String mailhost = "smtp.gmail.com";
	
	public synchronized void sendMail(String subject, String body, String sender, String recipients) 
																				   throws Exception 
	{	
		
		Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
		 
		Properties props = new Properties();
		props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
		props.setProperty("mail.host", mailhost);
		props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
		props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
		props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
		props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
		"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
		props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
		props.setProperty("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
 
		Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
				new javax.mail.Authenticator() 
		{
			protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
			{ return new PasswordAuthentication("username","password");	}
		});		
 
		MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
		message.setSender(new InternetAddress(sender));
		message.setSubject(subject);
		message.setContent(body, "text/plain");
		if (recipients.indexOf(',') > 0) 
					message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipients));
		else
					message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(recipients));
 
		
		Transport.send(message);
		
	}
	
	
	public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
	{
		MailUtils mailutils = new MailUtils();
		mailutils.sendMail("test", "test", "from@gmail.com", "To@gmail.com");
		
	}
	
}
