Sending mail from yahoo id to other email ids using Javamail API

Question

I am not able to send email from my yahoo id using Java mail API. I tried different options from Google,but fails. Please have a look my below code and let me know if I am missing something. In my point of view Yahoo does not provide the free service to send mails, but I am not sure. Please provide your thoughts on this. ``` import javax.mail.*; import javax.mail.internet.*; import java.util.Properties; public class MailExample { private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"; private static final int SMTP_HOST_PORT = 587;//465,587,25 private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "dummyrls@yahoo.com"; private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD = "my password"; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{ new MailExample().test(); } public void test() throws Exception{ Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp"); props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true"); // props.put("mail.smtps.…

Try this code

```
public class SendMail {

String host, port, emailid,username, password;
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
    Session l_session = null;

public BSendMail() {
        host = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
        port = "587";
        emailid = "a@yahoo.com";
        username = "a";
        password = "pwd";

emailSettings();
        createSession();
        sendMessage("a@yahoo.com", "rahul@gmail.com","Test","test Mail");
    }

public void emailSettings() {
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        props.put("mail.debug", "false");
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
//        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
//        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
//        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

}

public void createSession() {

l_session = Session.getInstance(props,
                new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
                    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                        return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
                    }
                });

l_session.setDebug(true); // Enable the debug mode

}

public boolean sendMessage(String emailFromUser, String toEmail, String subject, String msg) {
        //System.out.println("Inside sendMessage 2 :: >> ");
        try {
            //System.out.println("Sending Message *********************************** ");
            MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(l_session);
            emailid = emailFromUser;
            //System.out.println("mail id in property ============= >>>>>>>>>>>>>> " + emailid);
            //message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(emailid));
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(this.emailid));

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(toEmail));
            message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(AppConstants.fromEmail));
            message.setSubject(subject);
            message.setContent(msg, "text/html");

//message.setText(msg);
            Transport.send(message);
            System.out.println("Message Sent");
        } catch (MessagingException mex) {
            mex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }//end catch block
        return true;
    }

}
