Java mail library

Hi. I'm trying to use the java mail library from Java that I got from Daniel Shiffman and I can't get the send mail function working. The connection always times out.

I was wondering if there is a way to fix this and what I'm doing wrong.

Also is there a Processing library for this that makes it as simple as the saveStrings function if not, it'd be really cool.

Well, I made a sketch to send e-mails from Processing and it works fine. You have to double-check the settings you have put. I know that some mail servers want a POP3 connection before a SMTP one, for example.

I checked, the sketch I made was using code from Shiffman, via somebody on the forum, I suppose.
It uses plain JavaMail library, no special Processing library.
You can see the sketch at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~philho/+junk/Processing/files/head:/_3rdPartyHelp/_WithData/Email/
I just cleaned it from personal information, which I moved to a .properties file.

Don't dream, you will never see a " Processing library for this that makes it as simple as the saveStrings function", because you have to do lot of things to be accepted by the servers...
