Import javax.mail.* problem ...

I have added the line 'import javax.mail.*;' to the top of my program and got the compiler error 'Package javax.mail not found in import'. I have since read through loads of similar problems on this forum and have tried the following :-
Downloaded jaf-1_0_2.zip and javamail-1_3.zip from the Sun site, unzipped them, and placed mail.jar and activation.jar onto my PC. I have added these .jar files into my classpath and re-booted my PC. However, I STILL get the same compiler message and it's doing my head in! Do I somehow need to add the .jar files into my project? Or am I just being very thick? I am developing using Visual Cafe 3.0. I am using JDK 1.2.2.
I am quite new to this and I have not even started to code the e-mailing method yet - I'm simply trying to get the import working.
Any help would be much appreciated and would mean I can sleep tonight!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
check where you have placed the mail.jar file.....give the proper classpath where you have placed the jar file....
check this out....it will compile...

Problem importing javax.mail.*

Hey,
I just installed the Java JDK 6 update 16 (windows platform). I am not able to compile a sample code that used the javax.mail package. I am not able to get past the
import javax.mail.*;
line. The compiles says "package javax.mail does not exist"
I tried separately installing the JavaMail 1.4.2 API and setting the classpath to the mail.jar file as suggested in the readme.txt for this API, but I still get the same problem. Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi! I see you've answered similar problems before - but nothing seems to be working for me.
My OS is Vista. I installed the JDK 6 update 16 just yesterday. I'm using the command line javac.
I can see the mail.jar file in this folder: C:\Sun\SDK\lib\ and I've set the classpath using : set classpath=%classpath%;C:\Sun\SDK\lib\mail.jar
When I type set classpath at the prompt, I can see that the classpath has been set correctly.
Please help!

Import javax.mail not found problem

I have downloaded the most recent mail.jar and activation.jar files and have created a library w/in JDev called javamail and have added these jars to that library. I have also included this library in my ViewController Project. The problem I am having is that the following imports statements are not found by JDev:
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Multipart;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart;
When I open up the mail.jar I can find all of these classes, so why are these imports not being recongnized?
I have also tried import javax.mail.*; to include everthing and this does not work either.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this issue?

Try to add the J2EE library - which is predefined in JDeveloper- to your project's libraries.
Worked for me.

Import javax.mail package does not exists

Hi,
when i tried to compile the source code for email using jdk1.3.1, it compiled fine. but when i tried to compile using jdk1.4.., it had the following errors such as
import javax.mail package does not exists,
import javax.mail.internet package does not exists
package javax.activation does not exist
Is it because of the jdk version problem???
Pls help me

I have the same problem with javax.ejb
Now i've downloaded and installed the j2ee and set my classpath to the j2ee.jar. I've had to make a new path cause i'm running XP.
This doesn't work.
to compile it in Jcreator or JBuilder I can make it work by adding this package (j2ee.jar) in the project settings - required libraries.
But I have to do this for every project again and again.
I can make it work but i thougt the classpath would be enough ??

Hi,
You need to have java mail jar files in your classpath.
They are available for download at http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html

Import javax.mail not found

Hello,
I am new to Java Mail. I wanted to test my first programme. When I compile, I get this errors.
package javax.mail not found in import and so on. I have set my classpath to so
set classpath = %classpath%;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\mail.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\activation.jar
I included the mail.jar,smtp.jar and activation.jar in the lib directory of my jdk e.g c:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\ "the jar file".
Can any one tell me what I am missing here?
Thanks
James

the easiest way to do this is to put
activation.jar
mail.jar
mailapi.jar
imap.jar
smtp.jar
pop3.jar
into the virtual machine directory C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext
or the lib\ext directory of whatever virtual machine you are using
and put coppies of them in JDK
C:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\jre\lib\ext
or jre\lib\ext
of whatever JDK you are using
this way they are found automaticaly
no need for classpath

Importing javax.ejb problems

Hi,
I have started learning EJB using netbeans 6.5 running on a mac os X 10.5.6. When i am trying to import javax.ejb and error stating that package javax.ejb does not exist.
From a search on the net i have learned that on windows os it is a problem of class paths. I don't know how to solve this problem on mac.
Thanks
Ray

Here is what I have done recently:
I tried it in Eclipse, which also isn't able to find javax.ejb and java.ejb
What is going wrong? It seems like j2ee.jar doesn't provide these libraries.
Thank you.

Import deleted mail problems

Hello I have tried importing the mail that I have lost on my work computer and when I finish importing the mbox, it is empty. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or do I have to accept my loss.
Thanks

I have 3 email accounts and 2 are working on my Macbook Pro (Lion and Mountain Lion), but one account keeps showing "offline" and I can get it to show "online". Settings are the same as on my Air, and the Air (Lion) works fine with all three accounts. Had everything working before doing some reinstall efforts. Now mail is screwed up again. (I am a Eudora lover and this isn't helping me love Mail...)

Import javax.swing problems

hey
I am new to java and have recently downloaded j2sdk1.4.2_04. I am trying to create a simple graphical application. However, It doesnt seem to import the javax.swing.* libraries. I understand that there is the src.zip in the directory, so I unzipped it but it still doesn't read the package. I read elsewhere on this forum that you should set the path to src.zip. I have tried that and it also doesnt work. My current path is:
PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib\src.zip;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin
Is there an error in this, or what else should I try? All suggestions greatly appreciated.

There's no need to set your classpath when importing any of the standard packages that are provided by the JDK. Perhaps you could post a (small) code sample and the compiler error you are getting.

Import Archived Mail problem

I have an email Archive file about 87GB's in size. My hard drive has only 57GB in memory left. I have 500GB on iCloud available. Is there a way to get the archive file straight into iCloud's Mail Archive so that I can view it in Mac Mail?

Hi,
check where you have placed the mail.jar file.....give the proper classpath where you have placed the jar file....
check this out....it will compile...

Problems sending email using javax.mail.*

I need to send an email from an application I am working on. I am using the features of the javax.mail package to do so. In looking at the code I am unsure why this is not working. This is my first time using this package so it might be something silly I am missing so any of your thoughts are appreciated. The code is as follows:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class EmailTester {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               //Set the smtp address
               Properties props = new Properties();
               props.put("mail.smtp.host", args[0] );
               // get the default Session
               Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
               session.setDebug(true);
               // create a message for this session
               Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
               // set the from and to address
               InternetAddress from =
                    new InternetAddress( args[1] );
               InternetAddress[] to = new InternetAddress[1];
               to[0] = new InternetAddress( args[2] );
               msg.setFrom(from);
               msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
               // set the subject and content type
               msg.setSubject("subject");
               msg.setContent("this is my test email", "text/plain");
               // send the email
               Transport.send(msg);
          catch (MessagingException me) {

I have an EMail class that I use at:

Feel free to use it or compare against your code to see what is different.
