¿Cómo puedo enviar un correo electrónico mediante una aplicación Java utilizando GMail, Yahoo o Hotmail?

Algo como esto (suena como que solo necesita cambiar su servidor SMTP):

String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "user name";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", "asdfgh");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587"); // 587 is the port number of yahoo mail
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

InternetAddress[] to_address = new InternetAddress[to.length];
int i = 0;
// To get the array of addresses
while (to[i] != null) {
    to_address[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
    i++;
}
System.out.println(Message.RecipientType.TO);
i = 0;
while (to_address[i] != null) {

    message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to_address[i]);
    i++;
}
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
// alternately, to send HTML mail:
// message.setContent("<p>Welcome to JavaMail</p>", "text/html");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in", "user name", "asdfgh");
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();

Otras personas tienen buenas respuestas arriba, pero quería agregar una nota sobre mi experiencia aquí. He descubierto que cuando uso Gmail como un servidor SMTP saliente para mi aplicación web, Gmail solo me permite enviar ~10 o más mensajes antes de responder con una respuesta anti-spam que tengo que pasar manualmente para volver a habilitar el acceso SMTP. Los correos electrónicos que estaba enviando no eran spam, sino correos electrónicos de "bienvenida" del sitio web cuando los usuarios se registraron en mi sistema. Entonces, YMMV, y yo no confiaría en Gmail para una producción webapp. Si estás enviando un correo electrónico en nombre de un usuario, como una aplicación de escritorio instalada (donde el usuario ingresa sus propias credenciales de Gmail), es posible que estés bien.

Además, si está utilizando Spring, aquí hay una configuración de trabajo para usar Gmail para SMTP saliente:

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
    <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    <property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
    <property name="port" value="465"/>
    <property name="username" value="${mail.username}"/>
    <property name="password" value="${mail.password}"/>
    <property name="javaMailProperties">
        <value>
            mail.debug=true
            mail.smtp.auth=true
            mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=java.net.SocketFactory
            mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false
        </value>
    </property>
</bean>

Aunque esta pregunta está cerrada, me gustaría publicar una solución de contador, pero ahora usando Simple Java Mail (Open Source JavaMail smtp wrapper):

final Email email = new Email();

String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
Integer port = 587;
String from = "username";
String pass = "password";
String[] to = {"[email protected]"};

email.setFromAddress("", from);
email.setSubject("sending in a group");
for( int i=0; i < to.length; i++ ) {
    email.addRecipient("", to[i], RecipientType.TO);
}
email.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");

new Mailer(host, port, from, pass).sendMail(email);
// you could also still use your mail session instead
new Mailer(session).sendMail(email);

Mi código completo como se muestra a continuación está funcionando bien:

package ripon.java.mail;

import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class SendEmail
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{    
    // Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
     String from = "[email protected]";
     String pass ="test123";
    // Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
   String to = "[email protected]";

   String host = "smtp.gmail.com";

   // Get system properties
   Properties properties = System.getProperties();
   // Setup mail server
   properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
   properties.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
   properties.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
   properties.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
   properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
   properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

   // Get the default Session object.
   Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

   try{
      // Create a default MimeMessage object.
      MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

      // Set From: header field of the header.
      message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

      // Set To: header field of the header.
      message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                               new InternetAddress(to));

      // Set Subject: header field
      message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");

      // Now set the actual message
      message.setText("This is actual message");

      // Send message
      Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
      transport.connect(host, from, pass);
      transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
      transport.close();
      System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
   }catch (MessagingException mex) {
      mex.printStackTrace();
   }
}
}

El mínimo requerido:

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.AddressException;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class MessageSender {

    public static void sendHardCoded() throws AddressException, MessagingException {
        String to = "[email protected]";
        final String from = "[email protected]";

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");

        Session session = Session.getInstance(properties,
                new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
                    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                        return new PasswordAuthentication(from, "BeNice");
                    }
                });

        MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
        message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
        message.setSubject("Hello");
        message.setText("What's up?");

        Transport.send(message);
    }

}

Las soluciones de código publicadas pueden causar problemas cuando necesita configurar varias sesiones SMTP en cualquier lugar dentro de la misma JVM.

Las preguntas frecuentes de JavaMail recomiendan usar

Session.getInstance(properties);

En lugar de

Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

Porque getDefault solo usará las propiedades dadas la primera vez que se invoque. Todos los usos posteriores de la instancia predeterminada ignorarán los cambios de propiedad.

Esto es lo que hago cuando quiero enviar un correo electrónico con archivos adjuntos, funciona bien. :)

 public class NewClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465"); // smtp port
            Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {

                @Override
                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                    return new PasswordAuthentication("username-gmail", "password-gmail");
                }
            };
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
            MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
            msg.setSubject("Try attachment gmail");
            msg.setRecipient(RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
            //add atleast simple body
            MimeBodyPart body = new MimeBodyPart();
            body.setText("Try attachment");
            //do attachment
            MimeBodyPart attachMent = new MimeBodyPart();
            FileDataSource dataSource = new FileDataSource(new File("file-sent.txt"));
            attachMent.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(dataSource));
            attachMent.setFileName("file-sent.txt");
            attachMent.setDisposition(MimeBodyPart.ATTACHMENT);
            Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
            multipart.addBodyPart(body);
            multipart.addBodyPart(attachMent);
            msg.setContent(multipart);
            Transport.send(msg);
        } catch (AddressException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(NewClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (MessagingException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(NewClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }

}

Una ruta fácil sería tener la cuenta de gmail configurada/habilitada para el acceso POP3. Esto le permitiría enviar a través de SMTP normal a través de los servidores de gmail.

Entonces solo enviarías a través smtp.gmail.com (en el puerto 587)

Hola pruebe este código....

sender.send();

Si desea usar outlook con Javamail API, use

smtp-mail.outlook.com
