Send Mail to multiple Recipients in java

Question

I want to send a message to multiple Recipients using following the method :

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, String arg1);

<

Answer 1

Try this way:

message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse("mail3@mail.com"));
String address = "mail@mail.com,mail2@mail.com";
InternetAddress[] iAdressArray = InternetAddress.parse(address);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, iAdressArray);

Answer 2

Just use the method message.setRecipients with multiple addresses separated by commas:

message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com,abc@def.com,ghi@abc.com"));

message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com,abc@def.com,ghi@abc.com"));

works fine with only one address too

message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com"));

Answer 3

Easy way to do

String[] listofIDS={"ramasamygms@gmail.com","ramasamycse94@gmail.com"};

for(String cc:listofIDS) {
    message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,InternetAddress.parse(cc));
}

Answer 4

If you want to send as Cc using MimeMessageHelper

List<String> emails= new ArrayList();
email.add("email1");
email.add("email2");
for (String string : emails) {
message.addCc(string);
}

Same you can use to add multiple recipient.

Answer 5

String[] mailAddressTo = new String[3];    
mailAddressTo[0] = emailId_1;    
mailAddressTo[1] = emailId_2;    
mailAddressTo[2] = "xyz@gmail.com";

InternetAddress[] mailAddress_TO = new InternetAddress[mailAddressTo.length];

for (int i = 0; i < mailAddressTo.length; i++)
{
    mailAddress_TO[i] = new InternetAddress(mailAddressTo[i]);
}

message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, mailAddress_TO);ress_TO = new InternetAddress[mailAddressTo.length]; 

Answer 6

If you invoke addRecipient multiple times it will add the given recipient to the list of recipients of the given time (TO, CC, BCC)

For example:

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com"));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse("abc@def.com"));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse("ghi@abc.com"));

Will add the 3 addresses to CC

If you wish to add all addresses at once you should use setRecipients or addRecipients and provide it with an array of addresses

Address[] cc = new Address[] {InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com"),
                               InternetAddress.parse("abc@def.com"), 
                               InternetAddress.parse("ghi@abc.com")};
message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, cc);

You can also use InternetAddress.parse to parse a list of addresses

message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, 
                      InternetAddress.parse("abc@abc.com,abc@def.com,ghi@abc.com"));
