Package com.google.appengine.api.mail Description

App Engine applications can send email messages on behalf of the app's administrators, or of authenticated users, using the standard javax.mail interface over this low-level API. Receiving messages is not supported. More information is available in the on-line documentation.

This low-level API is intended primarily for framework authors. For application developers we provide a custom javax.mail.Transport that allows the standard javax.mail interface to be used to send emails. No special configuration is required to send emails via this interface.

The MailService.Message class represents a message, including sender and recipient information, and possibly attachments as MailService.Attachment objects. These can be independently created via their respective constructors.

Sending a message requires a MailService object, created by the MailServiceFactory. Messages are sent asynchronously, so the MailService methods will always succeed immediately. Any errors in the mail message will be returned to the sender's address as "bounce" messages.
