send mail to Gmail account

Question

I am sending mail from my Java app to Gmail Account. I had used the Java Mail API and it worked fine. But is it possible to send an e-mail without using the mail API in java

Answer 1

In order to use a secure connection, use SSLSocket instead of Socket, like this:

SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) ((SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault()).createSocket(InetAddress.getByName("smtp.gmail.com"), 465);
