My spring configuration are as below

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
        <property name="host" value="smtp-mail.outlook.com" />
        <property name="port" value="587" />
         <property name="username" value="userid@mydomian.com" />
        <property name="password" value="password" />
        <property name="javaMailProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>
Following code sends the email
@Service
public class TestMailSenderJob {
    @Autowired
    JavaMailSender mailSender;
    public JavaMailSender getMailSender() {
        return mailSender;
    public void setMailSender(JavaMailSender mailSender) {
        this.mailSender = mailSender;
    @Scheduled(fixedDelay=5000)
    public void sendMail()
        System.out.println("############invoked sendMail");
        SimpleMailMessage message = new SimpleMailMessage();
        message.setTo("to@mailId.com");
        message.setSubject("Test mail "+new Date().toString());
        message.setText("test body");
        getMailSender().send(message);
        System.out.println("######### email send");
I am using oracle supplied jars for email version javamail-1.4.7 .
Edit: I am able to send receive emails in my outlook account(used for smtp in the program) through outlook web interface.
                Well, the server responded with 5.5.4 Invalid Email address which means that it doesn't accept to@mailId.com. Did you try any valid address? Is the mail from address correct?

I read in many places in the stacktrace this: "Invalid Email address". Please, check it in your code.
Another thing, for safety sake, please use the javax.mail-1.4.7 from maven repo.
                It's already in Maven Central as well as the java.net maven repository.  The maven coordinates are on the JavaMail java.net project page.
