        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
GMailSender sender = new GMailSender("username@gmail.com", "password");
            sender.sendMail("Cold Store", "Daily Report",
                    "user@gmail.com",

Did you add the

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

on your manifest?

also, you cant make network operation on your main thread. Try something like:

private class SendEmail extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Long> {
    protected Long doInBackground(String... body) {
           try{
        GMailSender sender = new GMailSender("username@gmail.com", "password");
        sender.sendMail("Cold Store", body[0],
                "user@gmail.com",   
                        "user@yahoo.com");
        }catch (Exception e){
            Log.e("Mail Error", e.getMessage());
        }

        return null;
    }

    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
              Toast.makeText(this, "Mail Send Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

and then initalizate it like this:

   new SendEmail().execute("Daily Report");
