Title Body

I am trying to send mail to my friends through my Java Mail application. I am able to do it successfully however the receiver's column in the mailbox shows the complete email address rather than the name of the sender. I tried changing various parameters but still the mailbox would show the full e-mail address rather than the name of the sender. using this method to send the message: public void send(String key){ String to=key; String from="mygmailid"; String subject="wassp"; String text="Hello"; Properties props=new Properties(); props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com"); props.put("mail.smtp.user", "myname"); props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465"); props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class","javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465"); Session mailSession=Session.getDefaultInstance(props); Message simpleMessage=new MimeMessage(mailSession); InternetAddress fromAddress=null; InternetAddress toAddress=null; try{ fromAddress=new InternetAddress(from); toAddress=new InternetAddress(to); } catch(AddressException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } try{ simpleMessage.setFrom(fromAddress); simpleMessage.setRecipient(RecipientType.TO,toAddress); simpleMessage.setSubject(subject); simpleMessage.setText(text); transport.connect("smtp.gmail.com",465, "myid@gmail.com", "mygmailpassword"); transport.sendMessage(simpleMessage, simpleMessage.getAllRecipients()); transport.close(); } catch(MessagingException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } I am calling this method as: public static void main(String[] args) { MailSender mailer=new MailSender(); mailer.send("friendmail@gmail.com"); }
