Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I realize this problem has probably been answered a hundred times, but I am unable to find a detailed solution. I am a VB programmer ** yes yes, save the boo's :) ** and over the last month I have been working with Java, (using Eclipse compiler)

I've been tasked with sending outlook emails using our SMTP exchange server, I have the server address as well as the port it uses. I'd like to be able to send emails using my own email account and password, or whatever i specify.. here is my code and a description of the current error I am getting. **we use the same SMTP address in our VB apps and it works fine :-\** any help would be appreciated :) thanks

::error message::
