Set sender name in JavaMailSender

Question

I'm using JavaMailSender to send an email to my client by my gmail account. In my gmail account settings, I can set value to "Send mail as" in order to display my customize name in my client email. For example, if I send email in gmail, my client email will show this:

From: This is my customize name (not my email address)

To: [email protected]

Subject ...

Body ...

How can I set up the configuration of JavaMailSender in Spring ?

This is my configuration file:

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
  <property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
    <property name="port" value="587" />
    <property name="username" value="[email protected]" />
    <property name="password" value="[email protected]" />

    <property name="javaMailProperties">
       <props>
              <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
              <prop key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</prop>
           </props>
    </property>
 </bean>

Thank in advance

Answer 1

You need to use the MimeMessageHelper as suggested by mumbasa. You can configure it like

MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, "UTF-8");
message.setTo(...);
message.setFrom("Your Site <[email protected]>");
message.setSubject(...);

Note how message.setFrom(String from) is actually being set. Instead of setting the from address to something like:

[email protected]

Set it to

Your Site <[email protected]>
