• Quick Mail Java - 1.08 MB

Overview

Quick Mail is a simple way to send mail using Java API in Windows and SUN/UNIX.

Things Required, Where to Get and How to Install

1. activation.jar
2. dnsjava.jar.
3. mail.jar
4. sendmail.jar

Above all, you can get it from the Sun site. But, you can get all the jar files from Java_Mail_demo.zip which attached with this article.

Brief Description

This article will help you to send mails using Java API. I have given the basic Java program. You can integrate this with any UI for easy access.

Source Code

I have given sample code to use it.

    MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set FROM
    mimemessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailfrom));
    // set DATE
    mimemessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
    // set SUBJECT
    mimemessage.setSubject(subject);

    // set TO address
    try
    {
        mimemessage.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, mailto);
    }
    catch(Exception exception1)
    {
        System.out.println("\tError in setting recipients ......\t" + 
                exception1.getMessage());
    }

    // set message BODY
    MimeBodyPart mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
    mimebodypart.setText(text);

    // attach message BODY
    MimeMultipart mimemultipart = new MimeMultipart();
    mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);

    // attach FILE
    mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
    try
    {
        FileDataSource filedatasource = new FileDataSource(filename);
        mimebodypart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(filedatasource));
    }
    catch(Exception exception3)
    {
        System.out.println("\tError in sending file not been able to attach ......\t" 
                        + exception3.getMessage());
    }
    mimebodypart.setFileName(filename); // set FILENAME
    mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);
    mimemessage.setContent(mimemultipart);

    //set CC MAIL and SEND the mail
    if(!mailto.equals(""))
    {
        // set CC MAIL
        if(!ccmailid.equals(""))
        mimemessage.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.CC, ccmailid);
        try
        {
                        // send MAIL
        Transport.send(mimemessage);
        System.out.println("\tSent Successfully..........");
        strResult = "\tSent Successfully..........";
        }
        catch(Exception exception4)
        {
        System.out.println("\tError in sending Address Try........." + 
                exception4.getMessage());
        }
    }
                else
    {
        System.out.println("\tMail operation Failed..........\t");
        strResult = "\tMail operation Failed..........\t";
    }
}

Just try it. It is simple to use.

Happy programming!
