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", "[email protected]", "myPassword");
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
public static void main(String[] args) {
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "[email protected]";
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, "[email protected]");
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "[email protected]", "myPassword");//CAUSES EXCEPTION
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
}catch(MessagingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
