I am creating my own client end for my email and i am using Java mail API. I am retrieving messages from dovecot and able to send also through Postfix. But I am not able to retrieve proper index messages as Thunderbird does or any other mail client does.
Please help me with proper explanation.

To learn about email and SMTP, I wrote a basic SMTP client using sockets to push an email to my outlook account, following an example from a textbook.
I ran into a hiccup though, when the outlook mail server required me to authenticate before I could send the email. After researching the issue, I learned this is to prevent mass email spam and sender spoofing, which makes sense. I resolved this by authenticating using my outlook email and sending the email to myself.
My follow up questions that I'm having trouble finding an answer to are:
If a different mail server, such as google, needs to push an email to my outlook inbox, how does it authenticate? Does the google mail server have an account with outlook?
Is it not possible to just send mail between any two mail servers? Do the mail server admins need to white list other email servers first?
Found my answer here: How to send a mail directly to SMTP server without authentication?
Turns out, I was not connecting to an external SMTP server for outlook, but rather a server for users to perform actions with their outlook account specifically.
I'm unable to find any good documentation or examples of how to send an mail to an email address using Yesod.
More practically, I'll extract the information the user typed inside a simple form (name, age, body of message) and send this information as a mail to an email address.
I'm kind of lost in this task.
There are three packages I'd recommend you look at:
mime-mail, which is a package for composing emails and rendering to bytestrings. It can also send via the system sendmail executable.
mime-mail-ses, which can send mail from mime-mail via Amazon SES.
smtp-mail, which can send mail from mime-mail via an SMTP connection.
There is some discussion about sending email in the auth chapter of the Yesod book.
Yesod doesn't have mailing functions. You have to use other packages outside Yesod.

Whenever i try to send a mail from my website for email verification, the same is being received in a spam folder. I noticed that plain messages are being received in inbox, but whenever i try to include an ordinary http link[http://abcd.in/abcd/verify.php?key=2f27feb552c83c6c65b9bfc4d799e775], the mail goes to the spam folder. Cant point out the reason why this is happening. Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks All
From experience, I know that the spam score can be affected when hyperlinks have an alphanumeric argument tagged onto the end. I suggest trying to reformat the URL into something like;
http://abcd.in/abcd/f27feb552c83c6c65b9bfc4d799e775/verify.php
and extracting the reference using a Regex or Split()
Is your outgoing mail server configured to receive mail?
Are you using a proper mail server with proper setup at all or some bulk-mail-sending dud?
Are your mails sent with a real from address? And I don't mean the header-from that you can add in your software, but the protocol-from that is being used by sendmail
Do you have domain keys/dkim set up for your mail server?
Is the header OR the protocol from address from a different domain? Do they have set up domain keys allowing your mailserver?
Does your mail server feature the same domain name on the reverse lookup?
Does your mail server offer to receive mail for the user they are sending for?
Is your webhost using a smart relay? Do they rewrite the from: address?
Or do you send mails with internal mail address from?
My application will be used in a manner that the user is remote from his computer running the application, receiving data via text messages sent periodically from the PC. Im sending the text message via email, using the number#carrierdomain.com. To simplify determining the user's smtp server, I've been sending the message using the destination phone carrier's smtp, instead of the whatever may or may not be available at the PC. This has worked so far with AT&T and T-Mobile, but not Verizon, as they have discontinued their smtp service.
I'm using mailsend v1.15 http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mailsend/mailsend.html
but Im open to alternatives.
I do have a less than ideal workaround, which is to use google or hotmail's smtp, but that requires a login/pass.
If I can send the text through regular email, using outlook, it works. I've looked at outlooks smtp logs, but that doesn't really help.
If its not being sent to a Verizon smtp server, how does it get routed, and is it something that my application can use?
Is there a reliable way to send email without having the senders smtp?
Theoretically, any smtp server can send your e-mail. However, due to the overwhelming amount of spaming on the internet, pretty much every isp has locked down their smtp server and will not allow anonymous relaying of e-mail.
If you do have the outlook client on the box you are sending the e-mail you can look at using one of the Outlook APIs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg608200.aspx
to send the e-mail message. You are using the outlook configuration then and don't have to worry about it your code.
As long as an SMTP server is configured to allow relay from a remote domain then you can use it send email from/to virtually any address. There are downsides, however, to using any SMTP server to send an email from a specific domain - the most notable of which is that the recipient's domain will likely flag the message as spam because the domain of the SMTP server is different from that of the sender's email address.
There are other non-email APIs that can be used to send text messages, if that is something you're willing to consider. Check out:
Tropo (http://www.tropo.com)
Zeep Mobile (http://www.zeepmobile.com)
Best of luck to you.
Impossible. SMTP is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, without this is impossible to access to another account with Email format. You can make a php mail where you don't need to have smtp, but your access will be limited, not all ESP / ISP will allow you to delivery those emails, because they need to identify you using your SMTP and MX Lookup (Reverse MX A records) from your server. It exists more ways, but are 100% SPAMMERS and HACKERS methods and I don't recommend to use them.
I am using the built-in email component of CakePHP 1.3, and it seems that all my emails go to the hotmail junk folder.
Does any of you know what to change to make Hotmail thinking this is NOT a spam? If some of you experienced the same issue, some feedback on what they've done or tried to fix it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Nicolas.
Cake simply uses the PHP built-in mail() facility. Without any further setup your mail is not going to be delivered by a proper MX server but rather the sendmail binary connects directly to the SMTP port on the remote host and attempts to deliver.
You see how easy it is to set up a spam sending facility like this. Mails delivered by a random machine instead of a proper mail server are very likely to be classified as spam.
Ask the web server admin to set up mail sending from the server. Alternatively you could use any trusted SMTP server to send mail (e.g. google).
