Trying to send email in Java using gmail always results in username and password not accepted.
- by Thaeos
When I call the send method (after setting studentAddress), I get this:
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535-5.7.1 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
535 5.7.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 y15sm906936wfd.10
I'm pretty sure the code is correct, and 100% positive that the username and password details I'm entering are correct. So is this something wrong with gmail or what?
This is my code:
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class SendEmail {
private String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
private String emailLogin = "[email protected]";
private String pass = "xxx";
private String studentAddress;
private String to;
private Properties props = System.getProperties();
public SendEmail() {
props.put("mail.smtps.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtps.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", emailLogin);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
to = "[email protected]";
}
public void setStudentAddress(String newAddress) {
studentAddress = newAddress;
}
public void send() {
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(emailLogin));
InternetAddress[] studentAddressList = {new InternetAddress(studentAddress)};
message.setReplyTo(studentAddressList);
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("Test Email");
message.setText("This is a test email!");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtps");
transport.connect(host, emailLogin, pass);
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
} catch (MessagingException me) {
System.out.println("There has been an email error!");
me.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Any ideas...
