Just wanted to share with you  I happened to get this error after changing Digital Ocean machine  IP address   Apparently Gmail recognized it as a hacking attack  After following their directions  and approving the new IP address the code is back and running

The problem is  you are creating a transport object and using it s connect method to authenticate yourself          But then you use a static method to send the message which ignores authentication done by the object   So  you should either use the sendMessage message  message getAllRecipients    method on the object or use an authenticator as suggested by others to get authorize          through the session   Here s the Java Mail FAQ  you need to read

I was missing this authenticator object argument in the below line  Session session   Session getInstance props  new GMailAuthenticator username  password      This line solved my problem now I can send mail through my Java application   Rest of the code is simple just like above

You need to implement a custom Authenticator  import javax mail Authenticator  import javax mail PasswordAuthentication    class GMailAuthenticator extends Authenticator        String user       String pw       public GMailAuthenticator  String username  String password                 super            this user   username          this pw   password             public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication                return new PasswordAuthentication user  pw             Now use it in the Session  Session session   Session getInstance props  new GMailAuthenticator username  password      Also check out the JavaMail FAQ
