Java Mail API is required to work with this code to send email in Java from your email account with attachments .

    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));

    messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileAttachment);

    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

    1. Please verify if your email address is correct in your Mail preferences

      (String from = "abc@gmail.com";//sender id
      String to = "xyz@yahoo.com";//reciever id)

      edit these both strings and provide some valid email addresses.

      and try again.

    1. You are getting a NullPointerException which means either you have not initialized any of parameter or you have to use try-catch around a statement which throws this exception.

  9. I have found code for adding attachment in new and existing email at the documentation page of Aspose.Email for Java Below is the code:

    Adding Attachments to a New Email Message


    //Create an instance of MailMessage class
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();

    //From
    message.setFrom(new MailAddress("sender@sender.com"));

    //to whom
    message.getTo().add(new MailAddress("receiver@gmail.com"));

    //Adding 1st attachment
    //Create an instance of Attachment class
    Attachment attachment;

    //Load an attachment
    attachment = new Attachment("1.txt");

    //Add attachment in instance of MailMessage class
    message.getAttachments().add(attachment);

    //Add 2nd Attachment
    message.getAttachments().add(new Attachment("1.jpg"));

    //Add 3rd Attachment
    message.getAttachments().add(new Attachment("1.doc"));

    //Add 4th Attachment
    message.getAttachments().add(new Attachment("1.rar"));

    //Add 5th Attachment
    message.getAttachments().add(new Attachment("1.pdf"));

    //Save message to disc
    message.save("output.msg",MessageFormat.getMsg());


    Extract Attachments from an existing Email Message


    publicstatic void main(String[] args)
    {
    // Base folder for reading and writing files
    StringstrBaseFolder = "D:\\Data\\Aspose\\resources\\";

    //Initialize and Load an existing EML file by specifying the MessageFormat
    MailMessagemsg = MailMessage.load(strBaseFolder + "AnEmail.eml", MessageFormat.getEml());

    //Initialize AttachmentCollection object with MailMessage Attachments
    AttachmentCollection attachments = msg.getAttachments();

    //Iterate over the AttachmentCollection
    for(int index = 0; index 0)
    {
    //Remove Attachment from index location 0
    attachments.remove(0);
    System.out.println("Attachment Count: " + attachments.size());
    }

    //Add a PDF file as Attachment to the message
    message.addAttachment(new Attachment(strBaseFolder + "Blank.PDF"));
    System.out.println("Attachment Count: " + attachments.size());

    //Save the Email message to disk by specifying the EML MailMessageSaveType
    message.save(strBaseFolder + "message.eml", MailMessageSaveType.getEmlFormat());
    }
