I think the name of this forum(CodeProject) makes people to believe that this the forum where they will get a readymade code. :)

You need to use Java sockets[^] to connect to the server, SMTP protocol[^] to send the messages, and the POP3 protocol[^] to receive messages. Google and Yahoo have help pages which detail the settings necessary to use their mail systems.
