Nevermind that. See the link anyway.

In NetBeans6.9 project the class path for both has been set

And it obviously has nothing to do with the classpath (I never said, or even hinted that it did) or you would be getting a ClassNotFoundException, of course.

See that link.

You need to read Authenticator paragraph for your reference and here you missed mail.smtp.host:host entry.

class MyAuth extends Authenticator
{
     protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
      {
         return new PasswordAuthentication("username","password"); 
      } 
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
		......
                ......
		Properties props = new Properties();
                props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);

		......
                Authenticator auth = new MyAuth();
                Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
                .....

Hope it helps.
