JavaMail AuthenticationFailedException

[Bron Czimes]

hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting my JavaMail to work.

My code is

Properties props = new Properties();
//props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail.mysmtphost.net.au");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
Session emailSession = Session.getInstance(props);
final MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(emailSession);
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[e-mail]");
message.setFrom(from);
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress("[e-mail]");
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
message.setSubject("Test from JavaMail.");
message.setText("Hello from JavaMail");
// Next two lines are specific to Yahoo
Store store = emailSession.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("pop.mail.yahoo.com.au", username , password);
//send message
// Runnable r = new Runnable() {
// public void run() {
// try {
Transport.send(message);
// }
// catch (Exception e) {
// e.getMessage();
// }
// }
// };
// Thread t = new Thread(r);
// t.start();
// msg = "Email sent";
// Next line is specific to Yahoo
store.close();

The error I get is

javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: class javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException


Both my username and password fields are correct.
What is wrong?

Try this it works for me

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;


public class MailClient
{
private static final String SMTP_MAIL="smtp";
private String smtpHost = "smtp.blabla.co.om",
user = "", //Proxy login & password... This can be empty ("") ;
password = "";


public MailClient( String smtpHost,String user, String password)
{
this.smtpHost = smtpHost;
this.user = user;
this.password = password;
}


private void sendMsg( String from, String subject, String message,String[] toAddress,String[] attachments ) throws Exception
{


Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);



Message newMessage = new MimeMessage(session);
newMessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
newMessage.setSubject(subject);


Object content = message;
String debugText = "Subject: " + subject;
log("Sending Text message (" + debugText + ")");
newMessage.setText((String)content);


// Send Message
try
{
Transport transport = session.getTransport(SMTP_MAIL);
transport.connect(smtpHost, user, password);
transport.sendMessage(newMessage, getInternetAddress(toAddress) );
}
catch (Exception e )
{
log(e.toString());
}
}

private InternetAddress[] getInternetAddress( String[] toAddresses ) throws Exception
{
InternetAddress[] inetAddr = null;
try
{
inetAddr = new InternetAddress[toAddresses.length + 1];
for ( int i=0;i< toAddresses.length;i++ )
{
inetAddr[i] = new InternetAddress(toAddresses[i]);
}
}
catch (Exception e )
{
log(e.toString());
}
return inetAddr;
}

private void log(String s)
{
System.out.println(new Date() + " " + s);
}
}
