I have developed an application that sends out mails and SMS. My question is How to send well formatted mails using Google App Engine for Java, Please suggest me anyone.
Thanks,
Abhijit
You send the e-mails using GAE mail service, of course.
If you're asking about formatting, one way to do it is with a Velocity template. This will give you a nice mail merge feature as well: populate the template with values from a database and send out your messages.
in addition to duffymo's answer you could try freemarker or StringTemplate that are other well supported and well documented Java Templating Libraries.

I am new to spring.I had a doubt regarding sending mails.How can i send a bulk of mails from spring based web application in which i have a requirement in my project.
I have no idea on this please suggest me something which is helpful
Thanks in advance
you can send bulkemails using spring and it also offers scheduling a mails to multiple reciepts refer this example
refererence
You can also go through some of the real sites which are already exists and using for marketing with bulkmails check this
so that you can get an idea to work on your requirements
I usually offer some code but in this case I would just copy-paste from this tutorial.
Spring has very little in terms of mailing support (which is found in the context-support module), which itself is just a wrapper over the javax.mail package.
I would use a service like Amazon SES, which helps keep your email messages out of spam boxes.
Install an MTA (like Postfix) in Satellite Mode on your local machine. This will relay emails to Amazon SES.
Use JavaMail to send email messages to localhost, and they will go to your MTA queue, and get sent to Amazon.
Make sure you are complying with anti-spam legislation: http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business
I want to be able to send/receive mail from my Java Server application. Is there a standard tool chain to use? [The main thing is that I am writing an enterprise web app in Java, and I need a way to (1) send emails that contain authorization codes and (2) receive complaints.]
Thanks!
EDIT: I apologize. This is entirely my fault. I was not clear in the spec.
When I say send/receive emails, I meant: I need my application to be able to run it's own mail server. I don't have an external imap/pop3 account I'm using. My application need to provide the mail server.
The Apache James project might be a good starting point. It is a full-featured SMTP server written in Java. I am certain it is possible to interface other Java applications with James and/or write James extensions.
what you're looking for it's java mail and it's compatible with EE here's the link
Sending and receiving EMails you can do with the help of Java EE standard JavaMail API. If your application is spring enabled, you can use org.springframework.mail package which has some good abstraction utilities. Apart from this you need to have MTA(Mail Trasport Agent) like James as mentioned above.
Definitely a good alternative is Java E-mail Server (JES) at http://javaemailserver.sourceforge.net/. It's a full blown server for sending and receiving mail. "JES is a multi-featured hybrid MTA/MDA server written in the java programming language."
I want to read mails from mail server. My mail server can be any server.
but when I study for this topic I found reading mail from gmail is easier option and Now i want to read mail from gmail.
My basic requirement is to skip the the HTML/TEXT mail and read only the TEXT mails.
I have found several API for this but now working for me.
I have also found Apache ServiceMix has mail reading component. Can i use this for my project or
What is the preferred way for me ?
Thanx in advance.
I'm using JavaMail to perform this operation and some examples can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-eeplat-419426.html#javamail-1.4.3-oth-JPR
I have done it using Apache Camel.
Please refer http://camel.apache.org/mail.html for reference.
Can someone explain how to send mail in development mode from the gwt jetty
The mode does not matter. The mail is sent on the server-side. You can use commons-email to send emails from a servlet of yours. Check the user guide for a simple example. Note that you will need an SMTP server. For test purposes you can use your google account.
It's nothing about GWT because it runs on the server-side (pure java code) and you can use all the api that written in java. Have a look at java mail api
Hey. I currently want to develop a simple program in Java that sends out email. Not just a few emails, but actually a lot (10k+)
I have a subscribers list that all agree to it, by the way.
Anyway, I cannot send these emails via Gmail or anything like that - They do not allow that many emails to be sent. So the basic question is: How do I send emails by making the actual sending computer an email server?
I'm sure I should use some libraries, I heard about ChillKat or something like that.
Could anyone explain / help me out? Would be very much appreciated.
the library - commons-email, built ontop of the harder to use JavaMail
the servers
James - java based
Postfix - for unix/linux (howto)
many more - there are many smtp servers. Each requires some non-trivial configurations before you can use it in production. It is better to turn to an administrator for this.
James is a very powerful email server base on Java which with you can use the JavaMail API. Moreover James integrate the mailet API which is very usefull to improve the functionality of your mail server.
You can configure it to set the gateway on gmail easily changing the config file. (see this topic)
You can find a very good tuto here about James and mailet: Working with James
