You might want to use the JavaMail API, the classical way to do it in Java.
There is a JavaMail quick start which can get you started.

Thanks PhiLho,
so does that mean that I can use pure java in processing?
My reason for wanting to send an email in processing is because processing is communicating with my arduino.

The answer is yes, although fry often warn against using Swing/AWT in Processing because of possible conflicts and issues of portability.

You can use foreign Jars by putting them in a code folder in the sketch folder, but for long term use the general practice is to make a library to wrap Java into a more Processing-like API.

I am not sure to see the relation of e-mails and Arduino... Smiley

thanks again!
An arduino is connected to my computer's serial port and is communicating with processing.
I have the arduino controlling a lock on my door, and I wanted to add the feature of sending me an email if someone knocks on the door

Hi, the easiest way I believe would be using Shiffman's wonderful code to send and receive emails vias Processing

http://www.shiffman.net/2007/11/13/e-mail-processing/

From the arduino, when you detect that the door has been knocked on, you just need to send a message to Processing via Serial. When that message is received, you just need to call the sendEmail function.

Hope it helps!
