Send an Email with JavaMail [Pictures, resources, and explained code included] - Lottery. - Jan 13, 2013
Hey guys, today I will be teaching you how to use the JavaMail packages to send an Email. I haven't made a tutorial in a while so go easy on me if I get something wrong.
Step #1.
Download JavaMail. You can download the latest JavaMail API here. In this tutorial I am using version 1.4.5, which as of now is the latest, complete version.
Step #2.
Import your JavaMail package by configuring your build path.

Step #3.
Set up your (simple & basic) class file.

Now all you have to do is call sendMail() from one of your other class files. There are many uses for sending Emails by Java. Explore them for yourself. You can modify anything as you would like. As I said in the beginning, I haven't done a tutorial in a while, so tell me if I messed up or forgot something.
Thanks for viewing! I hope you learned something.
P.S. Tell me what you come up with. I would love to see what creative minds people have.

Edit: Read it now that it's finished
Nice simple tutorial, never read anything on Emailing with java. Doesn't look very bad to do.

Yeah. Sorry. I am under 5 minutes away from being finished. HF has their buttons way to close. Thanks for waiting, I hope you'll like it.
Post re-uploaded. Sorry for the delay. I hope you guys like it.

This is very simple code, could you perhaps make a tutorial on something more complicated, like retrieving and manipulating an email from a email server.

Good tutorial though, thanks!

Really nice tutorial, and well explained. Nice work.

Thanks all. I am glad you like it. I hope I explained it well enough, it's not a hard concept anyways.
I plan to make more tutorials in the future if you guys can give me some ideas, or something you'd like to learn.

No problem. See what you can make with it. I have made some pretty interesting things myself, but I would like to see what others can com up with.

Okay. The purpose of pictures is so people can see the code and know what it should looks like. Then they learn instead of copying and pasting it. It also gives them the opportunity to ask questions while they read.
