How to close javax.mail.session empale

A JavaMail question!

To close a javax.mail.Session object, you can use the close() method. Here are a few ways to do it:

  1. Explicitly call close():

    Session session =...; // create a Session object
    // use the session to send/receive emails
    session.close();

    This will close the session and release any resources associated with it.

  2. Use a try-finally block:

    Session session =...; // create a Session object
    try {
     // use the session to send/receive emails
    } finally {
     session.close();
    }

    This ensures that the session is closed even if an exception is thrown while using it.

  3. Use a try-with resource statement (Java 7 and later):

    try (Session session =...; // create a Session object) {
     // use the session to send/receive emails
    } // session is automatically closed here

    This is a concise way to ensure that the session is closed, even if an exception is thrown.

  4. Use a finally block in a catch block:

    Session session =...; // create a Session object
    try {
     // use the session to send/receive emails
    } catch (Exception e) {
     // handle the exception
    } finally {
     session.close();
    }

    This ensures that the session is closed even if an exception is thrown while using it.

Remember to close the session when you're done using it to avoid resource leaks and potential issues with subsequent email operations.
