You are probably attempting to use Gmail s servers on port 25 to deliver mail to a third party over an unauthenticated connection  Gmail doesn t let you do this  because then anybody could use Gmail s servers to send mail to anybody else  This is called an open relay and was a common enabler of spam in the early days  Open relays are no longer acceptable on the Internet   You will need to ask your SMTP client to connect to Gmail using an authenticated connection  probably on port 587

Google now has a feature stating that it won t allow insecure devices to send emails  When I ran my program it came up with the error in the first post  I had to go into my account and allow insecure apps to send emails  which I did by clicking on my account  going into the security tab  and allowing insecure apps to use my gmail

Try this code    Properties props   new Properties                            props put  mail smtp host    smtp gmail com                            props put  mail smtp socketFactory port    465                            props put  mail smtp socketFactory class    javax net ssl SSLSocketFactory                            props put  mail smtp auth    true                            props put  mail smtp prot    465                             Session session   Session getDefaultInstance props                                  new javax mail Authenticator                                 protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication                                      return new PasswordAuthentication  PUT THE MAIL SENDER HERE      PUT THE PASSWORD OF THE MAIL SENDER HERE                                                                                                                 try                               Message message   new MimeMessage session                               message setFrom new InternetAddress  PUT THE MAIL SENDER HERE                                   message setRecipients Message RecipientType TO  InternetAddress parse  PUT THE MAIL RECEIVER HERE                                   message setSubject  MAIL SUBJECT                                  message setText  MAIL BODY                                  Transport send message                              catch  Exception e                                JOptionPane showMessageDialog null  e                               You have to less secure the security of the mail sender  if the problem persist I think It can be caused by the antivirus  try to disable it
