Getting Started

• This is an email client which can send emails to a list of recipients stored in a text file.
• It also keeps track of all the mail sent in a .SER file
• Use a text file with name loginCredentials.txt to store the username and password.
  • username should be in the first line.
  • password in the second.
• The folder structure follows that of a java project on vscode.

Folder Structure

The workspace contains two folders by default, where:

• src: the folder to maintain sources
• lib: the folder to maintain dependencies
• bin: the folder to maintain compiled files (.class files)

If you want to customize the folder structure, open .vscode/settings.json and update the related settings there.
