I want to send mail with an image attachment. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can convert the image to byte array and then use the following method to send the file as attachment.

public synchronized boolean sendMail(final byte []data) 
        {    
        Folder[] folders = store.list(4);
        Folder sentfolder = folders[0];
        // create a new message and store it in the sent folder
        msg = new Message(sentfolder);
        multipart = new Multipart();
        textPart = new TextBodyPart(multipart,"Image");
        Address recipients[] = new Address[1];
        try {

                recipients[0] = new Address(address, "XYZ");
                msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, recipients);
                msg.setSubject("Image"); 
                try {
                        Thread thread = new Thread("Send mail") {
                                public void run() { 
                                        try {


                                                    attach = new SupportedAttachmentPart(
                                                                multipart, "application/octet-stream",
                                                                "title",data);                                                      


                                                multipart.addBodyPart(textPart);
                                                multipart.addBodyPart(attach);
                                                msg.setContent(multipart);
                                                Transport.send(msg); 
                                        }
                                        catch(SendFailedException e)
                                        {

                                        } 
                                        catch (final MessagingException e) { 


                                        } 
                                        catch (final Exception e) { 

                                        }

                                }           
                        };
                        thread.start(); 
                        return true;
                } 
                catch (final Exception e) 
                { 

                }
        }catch (final Exception e) {

        }

        return false;
