Here is a sample, change from, pass and to based on your requirement

String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "username";
String pass = "password";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true"); // added this line
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");

String[] to = {"to@gmail.com"}; // added this line

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
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++ ) { // changed from a while loop
    toAddress[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
}
System.out.println(Message.RecipientType.TO);

for( int i=0; i < toAddress.length; i++) { // changed from a while loop
    message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress[i]);
}
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, from, pass);
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();

  • Thanks for reply... Now can you please tell about gmail smtp.? – Haresh Godhani Dec 26 '12 at 11:59
  • This is for GMAIL SMTP only. Please refer the smtp host name and port. String host = "smtp.gmail.com". Its pointing to Gmail only. Just add your user name in _from_ and password in _pass_. The code will work. – Jayamohan Dec 26 '12 at 12:05
