use

The following is a code fragment for the use of JavaMail 1.4.4 with the use of an SMTP server. The respective data must be obtained from the provider .

final Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "SMTPHOST");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "PORTNUMBER");
props.put("mail.transport.protocol","smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.tls", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity", "true");

final javax.mail.Authenticator auth = new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
   @Override
   public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
      return new PasswordAuthentication("[email protected]","PASSWORD");
   }
};

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);

Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]", "EXAMPLENAME"));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]", "TOEXAMPLE"));
msg.setSubject("SUBJECT");
msg.setText("THE MESSAGE");
msg.saveChanges();
Transport.send(msg);
