Simon,
Sending email is VERY easy with javamail API
I use it for a servlet that does a upload file.
The user fill a form (the click on the button open the OS file search
dialog) then when he click on the send button, the file is uploaded to the
server and a list of person are automatically sent an email.
If its the kind of functionality you're looking for.. go for javamail, its
a gem.
