It will never work without a mail (SMTP) server. I note that you are
using gmail but perhaps your ISP provides access to an SMTP server. If
you can use a standard email client like Outlook or Thunderbird to
send an email you can copy the name of the SMTP server from it.
Otherwise, you will have to install an SMTP server on your own
computer or network. Most ISPs make this as difficult as possible
because it is a common source of spam.

If you do not have an smtp server on your computer, you'll need to use
your ISP or some other mail server that accepts outbound mail from your
ip. i.e.
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.your_isp.com");

Seems to me that without a mail server you can't send mail.

You'll have to set up a secure connection (SSL) if you want to send mail
through GMail's SMTP server.

For example code, see

[Author claims it "works perfectly fine", but I haven't tried the code
myself]

Seems to me that without a mail server you can't send mail.

Every e-mail client in the world sends e-mail via an outside mail server
- generally provided by the ISP that also connects the user to the net.
