 java.net.MalformedURLException: unknwon protocol: com.sun.mail.smtp

Even i tried using SMTP in place of com.sun.mail.smtp but no use.. What is the protocol name to use for smtp?

If you are trying to send mail through javax.mail API you can use this

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;

import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class SendMailToMyself
{
   private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "smtp.gmail.com";  
   private static final String MY_EMAIL = "youremailID@gmail.com";

   /**
     * @param emailContact : Email of the person who contact you or From whom the email came.
     * @param subject : Subject of the Email send by the contact.
     * @param msgFromContact : Message Text of the Body.
     *
     * The method is used to take EmailID of the Contact, Subject of the Message,
     * Message Text as the input, as provided on the JSP side Contact Me page and 
     * sends it to the Administrator of the Website on his Mail Address.
     */

   public void postMail(String emailContact, String subject, String msgFromContact)
                                                      throws MessagingException
   {
     boolean debug = false;

     // Set the host smtp address
     Properties prop = new Properties();
     prop.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);         
     /*  
      * Do remember to remove the below line from comment, if your mail server does support TLS (port 587), SSL(port 465) security features.
      * Like if you sending a mail to Hotmail or gmail this must be uncommented, and then you have to use above ports  
      * instead of port 25.
      */
     prop.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
     prop.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
     prop.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

     Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
     Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(prop, auth);

     session.setDebug(debug);

    // Create a message.
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

    // Set the from and to address.
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(emailContact);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

    InternetAddress addressTo = new InternetAddress(MY_EMAIL);

    msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);

    // Setting the subject and content Type
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(msgFromContact, "text/plain");
    Transport.send(msg);
   }   

   public static void main(String... args) throws MessagingException
   {
     SendMailToMyself smtm = new SendMailToMyself();
     smtm.postMail("sender@email.com", "Testing Program", "Hello there, Testing command prompt messaging.");
     System.out.println("Your Message has been send. Regards");
   }
 } 

And here is the SMTPAuthenticator Class

import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;

/**
  * SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
  * when the SMTP server requires it.
  */

public class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "youremail@gmail.com";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PASSWORD = "yourpassword";

  public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
  {
    String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
    String password = SMTP_AUTH_PASSWORD;

    return new PasswordAuthentication(username,  password);
  }
}

Hope that might help.

Regards

smtp is not a supported protocol (at least as of 1.5), you would use the mailto protocol. See the following example courtesy of google....

Take care with the firewall and the host port you selected and try the code below that uses javax.mail API.

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;

final class MailClient
{
    private class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator
    {
        private PasswordAuthentication authentication;

        public SMTPAuthenticator(String login, String password)
        {
             authentication = new PasswordAuthentication(login, password);
        }

        @Override
        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
        {
             return authentication;
        }
    }

    public void mail()
    {
        try
        {
            String from = "xyz.com";
            String to = "abc.com";
            String subject = "Your Subject.";
            String message = "Message Text.";
            String login = "xyz.com";
            String password = "password";

            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
            props.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", "587");
            props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.setProperty("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");

            Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator(login, password);

            Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);

            MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

           try
           {
                msg.setText(message);
                msg.setSubject(subject);
                msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
                msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                new InternetAddress(to));
                Transport.send(msg);
           }
           catch (MessagingException ex)
           {
                Logger.getLogger(MailClient.class.getName()).
                log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
           }
        }
    }
}

final public class Main
{
    public static void main(String...args)
    {
        new MailClient().mail();
    }
}
