smtpPort=465
From the error I can understand that problem is in this part
messageBodyPart.setContent(paragraphs, "application/msword"); where I am adding word document content to MIME message body part.
I have tried several other ways to achieve this but not able to do so. Please suggest a way to achieve this?

Answer 1

I got a resolution to this problem.Actually , I have to put different font face and font sizes in email body which I am trying to read from word document.To achieve this I have changed my approach,so instead of word document I have embedded my content into html tags which is quite simple :) , refer the below line of code which will replace word document part
String htmltext = "+
Different Font Size+
Different Font Size+
";
messageBodyPart.setContent(htmltext, "text/html");
During my research one of my friend suggested me following third party API's , it might be helpful to anyone
