I am able to send mail using this code: Make sure you perfectly checked your smtp port and smtp host.

enter code here



 private String mailhost = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com";  

 // private String mailhost = "plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com"; 
    Properties props = new Properties();   
    props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");   
    props.setProperty("mail.host", mailhost);   
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");   
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");

Read about :

  • Yahoo smtp settings and
  • Hotmail smtp settings

Note the port numbers and other details

for example, hotmail 

private String mailhost = "smtp.live.com";

and 

props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");   
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "587");   // because of SSL
