Sending an email using javamail as if it were being sent from gmail

I'm developing a web application that uses javamail to send email messages and it works correctly.

The problem is that I don't get the email that I'm sending in the sent mail folder in the gmail account which I connect to, also I don't get bounced email as it happens if I try to send the email via gmail application.

I doubt this is due to security restrictions from javamail and cannot be done, as it would be much faster to get a possible spam list from an email server than doing it manually.but if it's for security reasons it would just be much better just not to bounce emails.

How can I use javamail as if sending the mails from gmail.com, getting the sent message in the sent mail folder and bounced mails in inbox folder?

Do you use gmail's SMTP server? Because if you do, sent mail should get added to your gmail account - see here – fvu
I'm using this: Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtp.gmail.com"); so I think I'm using it – user195321

Sending a mail via SMTP does not copy it to a sent folder automatically. Your sending application would have to make an IMAP connection after the SMTP connection and copy the message into the sent folder.

also I don't get bounced email

Make sure the Evelope Sender Address ("Return-Path") is set to the Gmail Adress you're using to send the messages.
