http://www.javaworld.com/jw-10-2001/jw-1026-javamail.html

Now i do not have the SMTP server.
Can I test with my Yahoo/hotmail account?
If yes, what should I put for incoming mail and outgoing mail?
and what type of my mail server?

Thanks

If you are connected to the internet, your service provider must have supplied you with an SMTP server.

I have try to run the demo code provided by the JAVAmail

I use gmail for testing

The smtp server for gmail is smtp.gmail.com

after compile theSimpleSender, the I run

java SimpleSender smtp.gmail.com henryJack85@gmail.com fsloke@yahoo.com "Hello" "Just to say Hello."

But it didn't work.... I stuck here...

what should i change for this command:

java com.lotontech.mail.SimpleSender smtp.myISP.net bill@lotontech.com ben@lotontech.com "Hello" "Just to say Hello."

You see in the example: "smt.myISP.net"
So it means to use for smtp: myISP so YOUR Internet Service Provider smtp.

I'll try to explain to you short.

OK you have understood that POP server is to receive/retreive mail. SMTP server is to send mail.

OK my my mail account in Outlook is set up with:
- my ISP POP server which is pop.sympatico.ca.
- my ISP SMTP server which is smtp.sympatico.ca

Now as long as I stay connected from home on my labtop I can send and receice mail.

Now most mail system provider have no problem to let users pick up their mail all over the world.
So I can travel all over the world and pickup my mail from pop.sympatico.ca.

Now most mail system provider do not allow user to connect to their SMTP server if they are not physically connected to their network.
Why ? Because they don't have problem for you to pickup your mail but they don't wamt spamer to use their SMTP server to send millions of spams over the net.
If I want to send millions of spams from home, they can always identify me and tell me to stop or charge me for the service.

So that means that if I go you your place and I plug my laptop into your internet connection I can receive mail from pop.sympatico.ca no problem but smtp.sympatico.ca won't be accessible because I am not physically connected to there network. So in my Outlook mail account I'll have to change my SMTP server to your SMTP server no problem.

Another solution is to buy ($) the service from SMTP provider like www.smtp.com. For a few $ a month they will let you connect to their SMTP server from everywhere in the world. So in January, when I take my 2 weeks vacation in the Carabean I rent their services for a month for about $ 20.00. Then I change my SMTP server in Outlook to www.smtp.com and I can then use my laptop for mail from my hotel room.

Hope this is clearer. Again your ISP must have provided you with an SMTP server.

Thank pbl for the explanation. It quite easy to understood.

Here I have 2 options to go

Option One : Send
============
So, now in order to test the send code. I have to setup a smtp server is it?

Do you have any link or tutorial teach us how to setup a smtp server? (that workable)

Option Two : Receive
==============
From your explanation, mean that I can check/receive mail from my service provider (through POP). So the read mail code can work in my PC that doesn't have smtp server but it can use the service provider smtp server?

Thank

I would say....
try the read first... if the read works you prove your achievment

For the write... this is another question..... found your ISP smtp server or register/pay subscibtion to one on the Internet

Can I just create a mail through Outlook Express, then read the header, Subject and contain of the mail using JAVAMail?

I create a simple mail already,
Just click on New Message button. Then after finish input all the field, click on Save as from File Menu.

The extension available are .eml, .txt, .html

This is the sample of Hi.eml. It look like this...



Then it also can save as Hi.txt file



It also can save as Hi.htm



The problem is what JavaMail can support. Which file that I should read?

My target : Using JAVAMail to get the Subject field and the message contain --> prompt out as message box.

Thanks

I successful send my mail using the JAVAWorld code

I having problem with read the mail...

[ The parameter I fixed to hard code ]

The output:
=================================
C:\lab>java -classpath mail.jar;. SimpleReceiver
Number of Message:0
Name:
Message: 0
=================================

The output mean that no Message in my indox....

But my INBOX have a lot of mail.... What happen?

If you are using gmail for testing check your mail setting and get sure that POP is enabled.
