    <p>I'm using javamail to send mails from my appengine application. It works perfectly in the deployment, but I can't figure out how to do this using the development server. Whenever I need to test the sendmail, I'm having to deploy the application which is quite annoying.</p> <p><strong>Background Information (Why logs don't work):</strong></p> <p>We know emails go to the logs on the appengine development server. However, the primary reason for wanting to send emails from the development server is to be able to test the format of the email. How does it look? Do changes need to be made to the email template so it looks good in email clients A, B, and C, and can it be done quickly without the hassle of deploying to a real, default appengine version each and every time.</p> <p>We're not spammers. We're not trying to circumvent any type of security. In short, we want to legitimately be able to see the real, actual email in one or more email clients and then make code changes instantly so we can tweak them without having to go through the painstaking process of the edit, compile, wait 5 minutes for it to deploy, test, repeat cycle. Since there are no standards in how each email client renders an email, this painstaking process is amplified by trying to get something to work in many clients.</p> <p><strong>Question:</strong></p> <p><strong>How can the Java Google App Engine Development server be configured to send emails from the local computer or an SMTP service for the purpose of testing emails sent to real, actual email clients?</strong></p>
