Have you read the Fundamentals of the JavaMail API?

Anyways, from what I can tell the issue is that you're using invalid configuration.

properties.setProperty("smtp.gmail.com", host);

As you can see in the JavaMail API documentation, JavaMail does not support a property named smtp.gmail.com. What you probably intended was actually...

properties.setProperty("mail.smtps.host", host);

I suspect you wish to use Gmail's SMTPS server, not one hosted on localhost as you have it now, so I'd advise changing your code such that...

final String host = "smtp.gmail.com";

You also wish to use authnetication, which JavaMail suggests you can do in their FAQ on Gmail as follows:

properties.setProperty("mail.smtps.auth", "true");

Note that Gmail requires authenticating to send mail as such. It appears another answer suggested you can configure the username/password using the session properties; unfortunately, this is incorrect.

What you want to do is use an Authenticator.

final Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, new Authenticator() {

  static final PasswordAuthentication AUTH = new PasswordAuthentication(USER, PASS);

  protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
    return AUTH;
  }
});

            String host = "smtp.gmail.com";

            Properties properties = new Properties();

set following properties

        properties .put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        properties .put("mail.smtp.host", host);
        properties .put("mail.smtp.user", username);
        properties .put("mail.smtp.password", password);
        properties .put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
        properties .put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
