Simple Java Mail is the simplest to use lightweight mailing library for Java, while being able to send complex emails including CLI support, authenticated socks proxy(!), attachments, embedded images, custom headers and properties, robust address validation, build pattern and even DKIM signing, S/MIME support and external configuration files with property overriding, Spring support and Email conversion tools. Just send your emails without dealing with RFCs.
The Simple Java Mail library is a thin layer on top of Jakarta Mail that allows users to define emails on a high abstraction level without having to deal with mumbo jumbo such as 'multipart' and 'mimemessage'.
Simple Java Mail is also available in Maven Central:

v7.0.0 (2-January-2022)
It has been two years since the last major release, but 7.0.0 finally here!
Major features:
- #322 Simple Java Mail migrated to Java 8 finally (see notes below)
- #295 And also switched to JavaMail's successor Jakarta Mail 2.0.1 (see notes below)
- #323 Solved the great CLI performance problem (now executes near instantly)

- #367 The sendMail/testConnection methods now have proper support for
CompletableFuture
Bugfixes:
- #352 Bug: names regex groups are not supported in Android JVM
- #326 Bug: NullPointer when parsing Outlook Message with nested empty Outlook message
- #330 Bug: cli expected --mailer arguments duplicated 3 times
- #324 Bug: Add back missing log4j2 for CLI library
Maintenance:
- #368 Resolve log4j (Java8) vulnerability in Simple Java Mail's CLI module
- #330 Improved feedback from failing CLI commands
- #327 Implement toString() for Mailer instances for debugging purposes
Updating to Java8/Jakarta 2.0.1 posed a challenge as the 3rd party S/MIME library java-utils-mail-smime has been abandoned/archived while developing Simple Java Mail. Furthermore, it was still under LGPL3 license while everything else is ApacheV2.
Thankfully, I obtained permissions from the maintainers -as well as original developers from decades ago on SourceForge- to take both java-utils-mail-smime and java-utils-mail-dkim under my wings at Simple Java Mail and change the licensing model! You can now post issues and pull requests here:

A big shout out to @dnault (runtime javadoc), @remkop (picocli) and @markenwerk (S/MIME and DKIM) for working with me to make the libraries work with JDK7+ and do what Simple Java Mail needed! Finally a great many thanks the numerous contributors on Simple Java Mail as well as outlook-message-parser - this release would not be there without you.

- #89 Support multiple delimited recipient addresses sharing the same TO/CC/BCC name
- #88 Safeguard subject property (and others) against SMTP CRLF injection attacks
- #85 Apply configurable timeouts when sending emails
- #83 Parse INLINE attachments without ID as regular attachments when converting (mostly applicable to Apple emails)
v4.2.3 (21-May-2017)
-
#79: Enhancement: define custom message ID on the Email object
-
#74: v4.2.3-java-6-release: A java6 version with limited capabilities: I've released a customised java6 release with a customised outlook-message-parser 1.1.16-java6-release. This is the last java6 release I will do, as it is simply too much manual labor to create a limited second edition.
For this edition, I've removed the JDK7 Phaser completely which has the following consequences:
- If authenticated proxy is used, the bridging proxy server will not be shut down automatically (and might not run the second time)
- If mails are sent in async mode, the connection pool will not be shut down anymore by itself
This means your server/application might not stop properly due to lingering processes. To be completely safe, only send emails in sync mode (used by default) and don't use authenticated proxy config.
v4.2.2 (10-May-2017)
- #73: Patch: fix for sending emails in async mode, which makes sure the connection pool is always closed when the last known email has been sent. Without this fix, the connection pool keeps any parent process running (main thread or Tomcat for example) until a hard kill.
v4.2.1 (12-Feb-2017)
Patch: streamlined convenience methods for adding recipients.
v4.2.0 (12-Feb-2017)
Major feature: Using the EmailConverter you can now convert between Outlook .msg, EML, MimeMessage and Email!
- #66: Feature: convert email to EML
- #65: Feature: read outlook messages from .msg file
- #64: Feature: Added support for logging-only mode that skips the actual sending of emails
- #63: Feature: Already including in previous patch update: Spring support (read properties from Spring context)
- #69: Enhancement: Expanded EmailBuilder API to inlude more options for setting (multiple) recipients
- #70: Enhancement: Most public API now have defensive null-checks for required fields (Fail Fast support)
- #68: Bugfix: Name should be required for embedded images (added safeguards)
- #67: Bugfix: Error when name was omitted for attachment
- minor: added methods on AttachmentResource that reads back the content as (encoded) String
- other: internal testing is now done using Wiser SMTP test server for testing live sending emails
Note: Starting this release, there will always be a Java6 compatible release as well versioned: "x.y.z-java6-release"
