Sending email by javamail in android

[SANJISH KUMAR]

Hello,
I was previously able to send mail using JavaMail API through gmail but now they are not allowing less secure apps and so I am no longer able to send email using gmail. How can I get around this ? Can I use hotmail for this purpose ?

Please help

regards

Hi,
I reviewed your Question and find out your Answer
The technique used to send emails using Gmail from Java will be reused in this instruction for Android. Keep in mind that we must use the converted versions of JavaMail for Smartphones rather than the same Jar files that we used through the JavaMail API.

 

[SANJISH KUMAR]

Ok. Can you please give the java code to accomplish this ?

You can set your Gmail access security to work with less secure Android apps. You need to disable it by logging into your online Google account:

Don't forget this does bypass the existing security measures so you'll be remotely accessing your Gmail with an increased risk.

It says that Google no longer supports the setting for allowing less secure apps from May 2022

Yes, that sounds right. I'm not a developer, but I guess Google determined it was insecure.

If the problem is not in the code, but in the fact that Google does not allow this operation, then of course try it as an alternative to Hotmail. I know for sure that hotmail will work, I once saw the information in the documentation.

Regarding your reference to Hotmail, is this a matter of switching away from Gmail to use Outlook instead, or using the Outlook app to access your Gmail account? (Keep in mind Microsoft phased out Hotmail over a decade ago and now uses Outlook as its default email service).
