Thread: objects of sent emails

I'm creating a program that sends emails to SMTP as an assignment using Java.

my program consists of two classes 1- GUI class (which has all gui components and getters of this components like email from, to, subject,cc,bcc and message body)

2- Message class which is called when send button get pressed, this class checks entries and makes socket connection.

Message class is actionListener of send buttion in GUI class. in actionPerformed method it calls checking method, if all valid socket method will be called and send the emails

now I have (sent) button, which should display all sent emails

how to do so?

arraylist of object? or what?

like, is it a method inside Message class that making a format of email

like:

public void sentEmails(){

String to = "To: " + gui.getrRcptAddr();

String CC ="CC: "+gui.getCcAdd();

//etc..

}
and how to create object from this method, remember this will be display when (sent) button pressed

===============

in my assignment there two vague points:

-The CC/BCC field shows email address(es) while sending and an email is received at the address shown in the CC/BCC field but BCC value is not shown in the received mail

-The received mail shows carbon copy addresses

what I have done so far for these two points.. only check if they are not empty fields, I get addresses and send them to the server using "RCPT TO: "+ gui.getCcAddr

when I receive the emil, sure nothing about cc or bcc, do u have any explanation how to get around this?



I would appreciate any hint....Thank you guys.

For your first question, how to show sent emails, I would have an Email class that contains all of the necessary attributes of an email required by the assignment. Then, when an email is sent, it would have a field or attribute to indicate that it has been sent and is no longer a draft or unsent email. To show sent emails, the existing Email instances would be iterated and those that have been sent would be displayed.

For the CC/BCC question, when emails are received, the client that receives and displays them shows the cc: addresses but does not show the bcc: addresses. The same behavior is true for the bcc: clients.
