Sending email in Java?

Can anyone suggest a library for sending emails in Java?

From stackoverflow

• JavaMail API

• Spring has a mail wrapper layer as well:

  http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.6/reference/mail.html

• Try Commons Mail. This builds on the Java Mail API but makes it much more simple to use.

  Valentin Rocher : It works with any smtp server, just like any mail client.

• You may also want to take a look at the Apache Commons Email library. It is featureful and easy to use.

  You could do something along the lines of:

  import org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail;
  ...
  String[] recipients = {"a@foo.com", "b@foo.com"};
  
  SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail();
  email.setHostName("mail.myserver.com");
  
  for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
  {
      email.addTo(recipients[i]);
  }
  
  email.setFrom("me@apache.org", "Me");
  email.setSubject("Test message");
  email.setMsg("This is a simple test of commons-email");
  email.send();
  

  The sample code is taken from the Commons Email example page, modified to show adding multiple recipients. Hope that helps.

  Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen : you need to authenticate properly, but when that is done, you can use it with gmail
