I found another good apache tool for sending emails.

Its easy to use and has good documentation.

Below is an example of an easy way to sending an email.

It is explained properly on apache user guide page which is embedded on the bottom part of this article.


import org.apache.commons.mail.*;
...

 // Create the attachment
 EmailAttachment attachment = new EmailAttachment();
 attachment.setPath("mypictures/john.jpg");
 attachment.setDisposition(EmailAttachment.ATTACHMENT);
 attachment.setDescription("Picture of John");
 attachment.setName("John");

 // Create the email message
 MultiPartEmail email = new MultiPartEmail();
 email.setHostName("mail.myserver.com");
 email.addTo("jdoe@somewhere.org", "John Doe");
 email.setFrom("me@apache.org", "Me");
 email.setSubject("The picture");
 email.setMsg("Here is the picture you wanted");

 // add the attachment
 email.attach(attachment);

 // send the email
 email.send();
