Command-Line Email Client System 📧

This application is a versatile command-line email client designed to send emails to clients, either automatically or manually. It also keeps a comprehensive record of all sent emails. Embracing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, Design Patterns, and Object Serialization, this system offers a robust and extensible solution.

Key Features

• Dual Recipient Types: The email client supports two types of recipients: official and personal. Official recipients include close friends, and details are stored in a text file.

• Flexible Recipient Records: Recipient records include information such as name, email, designation, and, for official friends, their birthdays.

• Dynamic Recipient Management: Users can update the recipient list through the command line, adding new recipients seamlessly.

• Automated Birthday Greetings: The system automatically sends birthday greetings to recipients on their respective birthdays. The application maintains a list of recipients for whom birthday greetings are sent.

• Recipient Count Tracking: The system keeps track of recipient objects using static members, providing valuable insights into recipient statistics.

• Email Archiving: All emails sent by the client are saved in the hard disk using object serialization. Users can retrieve information on emails sent on a particular day through a command-line option.

Getting Started

Before executing the program, make sure to:

1. Add your email address and password to the javaMail class in the javaMail.java file.
2. Maintain the recipient list in the clientList.txt file.

Note: The application imports the javax.mail package, which is included in the javax.mail.jar. You can download it here.

Serialized files are named based on the date (e.g., 2022-08-08.ser).
