Question

I am using java mail api for sending mail.In that for sending email i configured yahoo smtp port.I am able to send mail from yahoo account but sent mail is not saving in sent item.For incoming service i configured imap yahoo server.
service:
#Component
public class SmtpMailSender {
#Autowired
private JavaMailSender javaMailSender;
private static String folderName = "Sent";
private String host="smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
private String user="abc#yahoo.com";
private String pass="xxxx";
public void send(String to,String subject,String body, String from) throws MessagingException
{
// Java Mail properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
// Mail session authentified
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
MimeMessage message=javaMailSender.createMimeMessage();
MimeMessageHelper helper=new MimeMessageHelper(message,true);
helper.setTo(to);
helper.setFrom(from);
helper.setSubject(subject);
helper.setText(body,true);
javaMailSender.send(message);
// Copy message to "Sent Items" folder as read
Store store = session.getStore();
store.connect("imap.mail.yahoo.com", user, pass);
Folder folder = store.getFolder(folderName);
if (!folder.exists()) {
folder.create(Folder.HOLDS_MESSAGES);
}
folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
folder.appendMessages(new Message[] {message});
message.setFlag(FLAGS.Flag.RECENT, true);
System.out.println("Msg send and saved ....");
store.close();
}
}
Controller:
#RestController
public class EmailController {
#Autowired private SmtpMailSender smtpMailSenderObj;
#RequestMapping("/send")
public void sendMail() throws MessagingException {
smtpMailSenderObj
.send
("pqr#gmail.com", "verify sendMail",
"Hii...this is demo for java email send",
"abc#yahoo.com");
}
}
Application.properties:
spring.mail.host=smtp.mail.yahoo.com
spring.mail.username=abc#yahoo.com
spring.mail.password=xxxx
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.transport.protocol : smtp
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.debug=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.socketfactory.port=465
spring.mail.properties.mail.imap.ssl.required=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.imap.port=993

Answer 1

You need to explicitly append the message object to the "Sent" Folder.

Answer 2

This is because of imap port connection send mail was not saving in sent items.
Need to add set property in properties file.
props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "imaps");
By adding this now i am able to save my sent mail in sent item.
