5. JavaMail API Troubleshooting Tips:

  1. java.net.UnknownHostException comes when your system is not able to resolve the IP address for the SMTP server, it might be wrong or not accessible from your network. For example, GMail SMTP server is smtp.gmail.com and if I use smtp.google.com, I will get this exception. If the hostname is correct, try to ping the server through command line to make sure it’s accessible from your system.

  1. If your program is stuck in Transport send() method call, check that SMTP port is correct. If it’s correct then use telnet to verify that it’s accessible from you machine, you will get output like below.
