Fail to send mail using JavaMail API

I have the following code which is attempting to send an email in background. I have made use of a textview to see the exception. However, although nothing is being shown in the textview, I also cannot receive the mail. So I am not sure whether the mail has been delivered successfully or not. Can anyone give help to me?

Based on the suggestions, I have modified my program as following:

new Sender.java

public class Sender extends Activity {
    Button Send;
    TextView text;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_sender);

        Send = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mail);
        text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
        .permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy); 

        Send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                new SendMail().execute();
            }
        });

    }

    private class SendMail extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> 
    { 
        ProgressDialog pd = null;
        String error = null;
        Integer result;

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPreExecute();
            pd = new ProgressDialog(Sender.this);
            pd.setTitle("Uploading");
            pd.setMessage("Uploading logs. Please wait");
            pd.setCancelable(false);
            pd.show();
        }

        @Override 
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) { 
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub 

            MailSender sender = new MailSender("[email protected]", "password"); 

            String[] toAddress = {"[email protected]"};
            sender.setTo(toAddress);
            sender.setFrom("[email protected]");
            sender.setSubject("Test mail");
            sender.setBody("This is the mail body");
            try {
                if(sender.send()) {
                    System.out.println("Message sent");
                    result = 1;
                } else {
                    result = 2;
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {   
                error = e.getMessage();
                Log.e("SendMail", e.getMessage(), e);    
            }

            result = 3; 
            return null;
        } 

        protected void onPostExecute() {
            pd.dismiss();
            if(error!=null) {
                text.setText(error);
            }
            if(result==1) {
                Toast.makeText(Sender.this,
                    "Email was sent successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
            } else if(result==2) {
                Toast.makeText(Sender.this,
                        "Email was not sent.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else if(result==3) {
                Toast.makeText(Sender.this,
                        "There was a problem sending the email.",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    }

new MailSender.java

        MailcapCommandMap mc = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap();

        this.subject = subject;
    }

    public void setBody(String body) { 
        this.body = body; 
    }
}

After I changed the programm, when I click the button, it stops at pre-execution state, displaying "Uploading logs. Please wait". Mail cannot be sent out.

I have already carry out the send operation in AsyncTask, may I ask why it still does not work?

as the log shows, you are calling network related tasks from main UI thread. You have to use AsyncTask for these communications. and remove the StrictMode by doing

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
    .permitAll().build();

StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

Also see my answer in this post regarding the usage of JavaMail API.

EDIT: Added the code inline here package com.max.mactest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.StrictMode;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class Sender extends Activity {
    Button Send;
    TextView text;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.test_login);

        Send = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cmdDoLogin);
        text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);

        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
        .permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy); 

        Send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
