To send an email using Java with POP3 and resolve the authentication issue you're encountering, you need to ensure that your Java application is correctly handling the authentication process. The error 535 5.7.8 suggests that there is a failure in the authentication mechanism, possibly due to incorrect credentials or the way the credentials are being sent.

Here are the steps you can follow to send an email using Java with POP3:

1. Set Up Java Mail API: Ensure you have the Java Mail API included in your project. You can add it via Maven or Gradle, or by downloading the jar files.

2. Configure Properties: Set up the necessary properties for your POP3 connection. This includes host, port, and authentication settings.

3. Create a Session: Use the properties to create a mail session.

4. Connect to the Store: Use the session to connect to the POP3 store.

5. Authentication: Make sure to use the correct method for authentication. If your server requires an authentication code or specific encryption for passwords, you need to handle this in your code. For example, some servers require the password to be base64 encoded.

6. Send Email: Once authenticated, you can proceed to send an email.

Here is a basic example of how you might set up the connection:

import javax.mail.*;
import java.util.Properties;

public class EmailSender {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("mail.pop3.host", "your.pop3.host");
        properties.put("mail.pop3.port", "110");
        properties.put("mail.pop3.auth", "true");
        properties.put("mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "true");

        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, new Authenticator() {
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication("username", "password");
            }
        });

        try {
            Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
            store.connect();
            // Code to send email
            store.close();
        } catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MessagingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Note: Replace "your.pop3.host", "username", and "password" with your actual host, username, and password. If your server uses a different port or requires SSL, adjust the properties accordingly.

If you are still facing issues with authentication, check:

• That the username and password are correct.
• Whether the server requires encrypted passwords or specific authentication mechanisms.
• Server logs or contact server support for more details on required authentication methods.

For the authentication code (if required by your server), you would typically need to handle this through server-specific documentation or support, as it often involves additional steps or configurations.
