I have looked around and i honestly can't figure out how to use javamail. How do i install it? I am new to programming and have spent a few weeks researching so far yielding no results. Any help?

If you need it only in one sketch, the simplest way is to just drop the jars in a folder named code in the sketch folder. Alternatively, drag'n'drop the file on the PDE opened on your sketch, it will do the copy for you.

That is great. However, how do I tell processing to use it? and is there any documentation about how to code javamail?

Search JavaMail from the Processing.org site, there are some threads about it, mostly in the old forum.

Ok, so I have tried Daniel Shiffman's Code. I get the error, "Cannot find a class or type named "properties"" Any Help?

That's probably Properties (capitalization is important...), and in 2.0b7, you must explicitly import nearly all Java libraries you use. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/ for example.

K, Here is a screenshot of everything.

Currently the installed libraries are: javax.mail.* and javax.mail.internet.*

I did some research on that website you told me about. The class properties is found in java.util. However, If there was just a problem in the way it is written that would be great. I have tried uppercase, lowercase, and all sorts of combinations of that one string highlighted in yellow.

As said, you need to add:
import java.util.Properties;
to the start of the file.
