Hi. I extended an javax.mail.Authenticator to set username and password for SMTP authentication:
private static class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator { String username, password; SMTPAuthenticator( String username, String password ) { this.username = username; this.password = password; } public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication( username, password ); } } You then set mail.smtp.auth property to true When constructing the MimeMessage, use a javax.mail.Session object created using a Properties instance (with your properties set) and the instance of the Authenticator (as above) that has the username and password set. Hope that helps Carl -----Original Message----- From: Q.

It's OK for some properties (mail.smtp.port|from|user|auth) but never found a way to indicate PASSWORD.
