Example of Sending Email through Gmail Server with SSL

   import java.util.Properties;    

   import javax.mail.*;    

   import javax.mail.internet.*;    

   class Mailer{  

    public static void send(String from,String password,String to,String sub,Str    ing msg){  

          //Get properties object    

          Properties props = new Properties();    

          props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");    

          props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");    

          props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",    

                    "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");    

          props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");    

          props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");    

          //get Session   

          Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,    

           new javax.mail.Authenticator() {    

           protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {    

           return new PasswordAuthentication(from,password);  

           }    

          });    

          //compose message    

          try {    

           MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);    

           message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(   to));    

           message.setSubject(sub);    

           message.setText(msg);    

           //send message  

           Transport.send(message);    

           System.out.println("message sent successfully");    

          } catch (MessagingException e) {throw new RuntimeException(e);}    

             

    }  

}  

   public class SendMailSSL{    

   public static void main(String[] args) {    

     //from,password,to,subject,message  

     Mailer.send("from@gmail.com","xxxxx","to@gmail.com","hello           pramod","How r u?");  

     //change from, password and to  

    }
