Sending email automatically

Question

I want to send an email automatically without any user intervention to a particular id. To send mail,username and password of the device from which I am sending,has to be authenticated. I am able to get the registered account name from my phone using

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(this).getAccounts();
for (Account account : accounts) {
       String  possibleEmail = account.name;
}

I know my password,so I am sending hardcoded password to authenticate.Is it possible to get password programatically?

Hi Nagendra, Do you want to send email without calling intent? Means you don't want to show that screen for setting subject line, message body. Right? — Krishna Suthar, Apr 16 '12 at 07:03

Nope. You can't get a password from the AccountManager. Look at the docs to see how it works.

Ok...If I want to send email from an android device,the account registered in that device has to be authenticated right? So can I ask the user to enter his username and password in my application?I saw one application called cobra tag..Here it is implemented in the same way. – Sanjay Apr 17 '12 at 05:31
