I have written a code for sending a simple mail from java(javamail/jaf). after I run the program I got an email from google that my account is being accessed by unsecured device/app. Then I had to change the settings of my gmail account to allow login for "less secure apps" option. Then I received my email from the program.
I need to send email without changing the option allow "less secure apps" option in my account. Please help.
My code is:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class SendMailSSL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("*****@gmail.com","*******");
}
});
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("*****@gmail.com"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse("*****@gmail.com"));
message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
message.setText("Dear User," +
"\n\n No spam to my email, please!");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
