Hi I am trying to read an email from from my POP and send an email after a certain event but i get this error:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1227)

I think for some reason checkmail() is changing the send

Note: the code I submitted passes in a username and password to Auth. I modified Auth to take those in. In Shiffman’s original code, those Strings are set inside of the Auth class itself.

Thus the following:

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth(”sebastiang@gmail.com”, “mygmailpassword”));

Should look like this with an unaltered Auth class:

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth());

Wanted to use the SMTP portion of your library to send text messages via e-mail. I use Teleflip.com to send messages (just e-mail a cellphone number to teleflip.com (e.g., 5555555555@teleflip.com).

However, wasn’t able to get the sendMail() method working. I did a little online research and found out that I could adjust the SMTP port of javamail to send messages via SSL to gmail.
I am not sure how secure this is, but it works for the time being.

I changed the following portions of code under the sendMail() method.

// SMTP Session
props.put(”mail.transport.protocol”, “smtp”);
props.put(”mail.smtp.host”, host);
props.put(”mail.smtp.port”, “465″);
props.put(”mail.smtp.auth”, “true”);
props.put(”mail.smtp.socketFactory.port”, “465″);
props.put(”mail.smtp.socketFactory.class”, “javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory”);
// We need TTLS, which gmail requires
props.put(”mail.smtp.starttls.enable”,”true”);

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth(”sebastiang@gmail.com”, “mygmailpassword”));

Thaks a lot. This is just what I needed, although when I tested it using my gmail account, I couldn’t find a way to stop retrieving the headers, so I had to ctrl-alt-del and stop javaw.exe. Not even using the Processing STOP button or ESC.

Anyway, it’s pretty simple and easy to use. Thanks again.
