Having troubles sending emails from spring boot application


I have been trying to send email via spring boot and i cant seem to succeed. I am been using javamail api for a long time now but want to use springboot with spring mail.

public class SendMail {

    @Autowired
    private JavaMailSender javaMailSender;

    public void sendingMail(String to, String subject, String body) {
        SimpleMailMessage message = new SimpleMailMessage();
        message.setTo(to);
        message.setSubject(subject);
        message.setText(body);
        javaMailSender.send(message);
    }

}

and here is my mailer

@Controller
public class ExamPle {

    @Autowired
    private SendMail  sendMail;

    @RequestMapping("/he")
    public String homePage() {
        sendMail.sendingMail("[email protected]", "Welcome George", "Sample Message here");
        return "Sent";
        }
}

I already have sprint-boot-starter-mail in my pom file but i keep getting this error message. I have even watched youtube videos of tutorials on how to do this and yet it doesn't work. I am using Spring Tool Suite Version: 3.9.0.RELEASE.

    @Autowired
    private JavaMailSender javaMailSender;
    
      public void sendingMail(String to, String subject, String body) {
        MimeMessage message=javaMailSender.createMimeMessage();
        MimeMessageHelper helper;
        helper=new MimeMessageHelper(message,true);
        helper.setTo(to);
        helper.setSubject(subject);
        helper.setText(body);
        javaMailSender.send(message);
    
     }}
