You need to put together two classes, JProgressBar for the UI, and SwingWorker for the background thread. From your comments, it looks like you first need to be looking at a SwingWorker tutorial.

Swing's JProgressBar is probably your best bet for an applet.

It has a mode for when you don't know how long an operation will take.

For JavaMail you can listen to the transport system (probably com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport) with a TransportListener which will tell you when each message has been sent at least, so you can do progress for multiple recipients.

depending on native/webapp, single email/multiple emails, solutions might be slightly different.

e.g webapp+single email, consider a animated gif, while you do send the email in another iframe.

e.g. webapp+multiple email, a progress bar can continuously display the percentage done, based on a number of sent emails/total emails, after each email get sent.

Display a simple gif image with hourglass or striped loading bar or something similar. Since this will be a single step operation you can't actually tell the user N % complete. Add a callback with timeout to verify the success of the operation. How you display the image depends on what technology you are using.
