Send e-mail in Android using the JavaMail API using Gmail authentication
Steps to create a sample Project:
MailSenderActivity.java
Run the project and check your recipient mail account for the mail. Cheers!!
Hope this helps
P.S. And don't forget that you cannot do network operation from the any UI activity in android. Hence it is recommended to use AsyncTask to avoid network on main thread exception.
