Bagaimana saya bisa mengirim email dengan aplikasi Java menggunakan GMail, Yahoo, atau Hotmail?

Apakah mungkin mengirim email dari aplikasi Java saya menggunakan akun GMail? Saya telah mengkonfigurasi server email perusahaan saya dengan aplikasi Java untuk mengirim email, tetapi itu tidak akan memotongnya ketika saya mendistribusikan aplikasi. Jawaban dengan menggunakan Hotmail, Yahoo atau GMail dapat diterima.

Pertama-tama unduh JavaMail API dan pastikan file jar yang relevan ada di classpath Anda.

Berikut ini contoh kerja lengkap menggunakan GMail.

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class Main {

    private static String USER_NAME = "*****";  // GMail user name (just the part before "@gmail.com")
    private static String PASSWORD = "********"; // GMail password
    private static String RECIPIENT = "[email protected]";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String from = USER_NAME;
        String pass = PASSWORD;
        String[] to = { RECIPIENT }; // list of recipient email addresses
        String subject = "Java send mail example";
        String body = "Welcome to JavaMail!";

        sendFromGMail(from, pass, to, subject, body);
    }

    private static void sendFromGMail(String from, String pass, String[] to, String subject, String body) {
        Properties props = System.getProperties();
        String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
        props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
        props.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
        MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

        try {
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            InternetAddress[] toAddress = new InternetAddress[to.length];

            // To get the array of addresses
            for( int i = 0; i < to.length; i++ ) {
                toAddress[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
            }

            for( int i = 0; i < toAddress.length; i++) {
                message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress[i]);
            }

            message.setSubject(subject);
            message.setText(body);
            Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
            transport.connect(host, from, pass);
            transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
            transport.close();
        }
        catch (AddressException ae) {
            ae.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (MessagingException me) {
            me.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Tentu saja, Anda ingin melakukan lebih banyak di catchblok daripada mencetak jejak tumpukan seperti yang saya lakukan pada contoh kode di atas. (Hapus catchblok untuk melihat metode mana yang memanggil dari JavaMail API melempar pengecualian sehingga Anda bisa lebih baik melihat cara menanganinya dengan benar.)

Terima kasih untuk @jodonnel dan semua orang yang menjawab. Saya memberinya hadiah karena jawabannya menuntun saya sekitar 95% dari jalan menuju jawaban yang lengkap.

Sesuatu seperti ini (sepertinya Anda hanya perlu mengubah server SMTP Anda):

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();

Orang lain memiliki jawaban yang baik di atas, tetapi saya ingin menambahkan catatan tentang pengalaman saya di sini. Saya telah menemukan bahwa ketika menggunakan Gmail sebagai server SMTP keluar untuk aplikasi web saya, Gmail hanya memungkinkan saya mengirim ~ 10 atau lebih pesan sebelum merespons dengan respons anti-spam yang harus saya langkah secara manual untuk mengaktifkan kembali akses SMTP. Email yang saya kirim bukan spam, tetapi email "selamat datang" dari situs web ketika pengguna mendaftar dengan sistem saya. Jadi, YMMV, dan saya tidak akan bergantung pada Gmail untuk aplikasi web produksi. Jika Anda mengirim email atas nama pengguna, seperti aplikasi desktop yang diinstal (di mana pengguna memasukkan kredensial Gmail mereka sendiri), Anda mungkin baik-baik saja.

Selain itu, jika Anda menggunakan Spring, berikut ini adalah konfigurasi yang berfungsi untuk menggunakan Gmail untuk SMTP keluar:

<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>

Meskipun pertanyaan ini sudah ditutup, saya ingin memposting solusi penghitung, tetapi sekarang menggunakan 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);

Kode lengkap saya seperti di bawah ini berfungsi dengan baik:

package ripon.java.mail;
import java.util.*;
import javax.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();
   }

Solusi kode yang diposting dapat menyebabkan masalah ketika Anda perlu mengatur beberapa sesi SMTP di mana saja dalam JVM yang sama.

FAQ JavaMail merekomendasikan penggunaan

Session.getInstance(properties);

dari pada

Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

karena getDefault hanya akan menggunakan properti yang diberikan pertama kali dipanggil. Semua penggunaan instance default nanti akan mengabaikan perubahan properti.

Lihat http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-135477.html#getdefaultinstance

Inilah yang saya lakukan ketika saya ingin mengirim email dengan lampiran, berfungsi dengan baik. :)

 public class NewClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {

            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() {

                }
            };
            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);

            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);
        }
    }

}

Rute yang mudah adalah dengan mengonfigurasi / mengaktifkan akun gmail untuk akses POP3. Ini akan memungkinkan Anda untuk mengirim melalui SMTP normal melalui server gmail.

Maka Anda hanya akan mengirim melalui smtp.gmail.com (pada port 587)

Contoh penggunaan:

GmailSender sender = new GmailSender();
sender.setSender("[email protected]", "mypassword");
sender.addRecipient("[email protected]");
sender.setSubject("The subject");
sender.setBody("The body");
sender.addAttachment("TestFile.txt");
sender.send();

Nilai ditambahkan:

• menyandikan jebakan pada subjek, pesan, dan nama tampilan
• hanya satu properti ajaib yang diperlukan untuk versi perpustakaan surat java modern
• Session.getInstance() direkomendasikan selesai Session.getDefaultInstance()
• lampiran dalam contoh yang sama
• masih berfungsi setelah Google mematikan aplikasi yang kurang aman : Aktifkan otentikasi 2 faktor di organisasi Anda -> nyalakan 2FA -> hasilkan kata sandi aplikasi.
