Making the sender appear as a label instead of an email address using Java Mail

The conversation continues 2 ↓

Im sending messages through the Java Mail API. On arrival, the inbox displays the address that sent the message. Id like some text to appear in place of that sender address. This seems possible because messages I receive from facebook show "Facebook - Message title" in the inbox instead of "mailbox@facebook.com - Message Title".

I'd like that same behaviour with the Java Mail API.

Thank you beforehand. :)

Follow the reasoning

  1. Choose this Constructor

    InternetAddress(String address, String personal)

    while creating the sender address. Your example would become

    originator = new InternetAddress("mailbox@facebook.com", "Facebook");

  2. Put this code within your try block:

    // Sender:
mail.setFrom(new InternetAddress("displayname<"+origin + ">"));
