Installing Mail-API

Hello.
I've problems with the installation of the mail-API. Does anyone have some ideas with the classpath and directories? I'm also glab about some tutorials or websites with informations about the topic.
Thanks.

[AnnaFischer],
I think what you referring to is the JavaMail API:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html
Once you have downloaded the JavaMail packages, unpack the zip file and you find several .jar files. To make your installation simple and easy, just copy the mailapi.jar (which will contain all the providers) into the <java home dir>/jre/lib/ext and you are all set to compile/run Java application that contains JavaMail code.
One good tutorial or short course for JavaMail is found on the jGuru website:

Thanks once again.

Can i use java mail APIs to read Unix mail

hi
can i use java mail APIs to read Unix mail?
Unix has "mail" command which can be used to access mails on the Unix system.
is it possible to execute mail & access unix mails remotely using POP/IMAP
thanks in advance

There are JavaMail providers that allow you to access the Unix mail spool files directly. Alternatively the standard JavaMail API can access a POP or IMAP server, if one is installed.

Installing new api

i have downloaded new java mail api, but i dont know how to install it.
plz help me on this
Regards
san

Putting it in the "bin" directory doesn't magically add it to your classpath though. Regardless of where you installed it to, you need to add it to your classpath. There are a variety of ways of doing that depending on how you're doing your development. One example: command-line:
javac -classpath (your classpath here, including that jar) (other arguments)

Error while sending mail when using Java Mail API

Hi Experts,
I am trying to execute a webdynpro application which uses the Java Mail API to send emails. The exception that I get on executing the application is :
Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]
Can anybody please help me sort out the issue.
Regards
Abdullah

Hi,
Usually one get this error if the SMTP server is configured not to relay mails (a security measure) or the SMTP server need the mail to be sent from a trusted IP or with proper authentication. Some SMTP servers are configured to block junk mails.
Pls check with your mail server administrator.

Error while installing DI API (32 bit) for SBO 9.0 PL 05

Dear Experts ,
I'm trying to install version 9.0 (32 bit) on my machine (windows 7 64 bit) . Everything is installed successfully except DIAPI . I'm not able to install the DI API. I try to uninstall / install many times but without luck . Cleared the SAP folder, temp folder but still when it comes to DI API installation it just failed.
Any help would be much appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagarajan,
Thanks for your prompt reply. The installation setup is on my local machine and i have the local admin rights on machine machine. And I don't have any problem in installing other components including server tools, server and client etc.
Friday I changed my computer name keeping SBO 9.0 instructions in mind (not to include any special character in computer name) and then I uninstall sap 8.82 from control panel , everything related to SAP was removed. Then I try to install SAP 9.0 PL 05 .
Server tools -- > installed
Server -- >Installed
Client -- > installed
SDK -- > Installed
DI aPI (32 but ) -- > Error -- > Another version is already installed .
I looked in control panel again -- > nothing there.
Then i again uninstall everything (for V9.0) -- > delete sap folder from program files (x86) restart my system --> again same error regarding DI API.
This error was showing me the registry value so I search the registry and found there that DIAPI related version 8 is still there .
So I took registry backup and try to rename registry key and value but with no luck . Still i was not able to install DI API
So today morning I delete the all the references from registry related to that value (the one i was getting showing Another version is already installed). and I start getting this error i.e. the network related error which is 1316.
I restore the registry backup to Friday's backup and then again try to install but I'm getting 1316 error constantly.
Try to clean the registry and fix the registry errors with CC cleaner but nothing is happened still stuck with 1316 error.
Regards

Problem in mail api to print the received date of an email

Do anyone know how to get received date of an email?I am using POP3 server.So while printing the date using getReceivedDate(), getting null pointer exception....So how to get the date?...Anyone know this using headers or something?I want a sample program in mail api of java....
Thanks in advance...

There is no logic inside the getReceivedDate() method.It's a pre-defined method i have used.I read somewhere that POP3 server won't give information about date.So it is returning NPE.And there it was suggested to use Received headers or something to get the date of a particular email.I am new to the mail api.So anyone know how to use those Received Headers to read the date of an email?

Moderator action : added [ code] tags to make the code readable.

String is not a suitable container for binary data so unless the two lines
             compressFile("test.pdf","testpdf.gzip");
             String encodedData = new String(getBytesFromFile(new File("testpdf.gzip")));actually Base64 encode the file content you are probably corrupting your file.
I suspect you should be Base64 encoding the compressed file and modifying the mime-type to reflect this.

RE-INSTALLING MAIL IN SNOW LEOPARD

I want to re-install MAIL and Address Book in OS X Snow Leopard. I have tried following the instructions on Apple Support (re-start and hold down the Control and R keys) - but nothing happens, my macbook just re-starts as normal. Any advice? I am pretty sure I didn't get an install disc with the macbook as everything came pre-installed, so how can i re-install from over the internet?
The reason I want to re-install MAIL is because the addresses stored in the contacts memory on Mail dont' seem to be updating in sync with the contacts in Address Book. As a result I can't sync my Address Book with Itunes and my Iphone (it keeps syncing with the contacts in Mail, which has older data from the first import of contacts when i first bought the Macbook). I deleted Address Book hoping I could re-install a new version and over-ride the address book stored in Mail, but deleting Address Book did not delete the contact lists linked to the Mail application. Not sure if I am making myself clear. There seem to be two Address Books : one is the application Address Book, and the other is the Mail address book, and they both seem to exist independent of each other.
Any help with either re-installing Mail and Address Book so that I have just one version of my contacts much appreciated.

Not sure if you realize you need PCIe hardware RAID controller.

Forget TimeMachine for cloning your system, Apple DU Restore or SuperDuper does fine (you can still use T/M if you want).
There is no software way to create RAID5.

During installation of Mac OS X 10.7.5 I use Time Machine and all other program and/or data working properly. Only Mail application not!
I find some information that Mail application is part of MAC OS X and tht is neccessary to reinstall whole MAC OS X to get mail application.
Will somebody have procedure or way how to solve this issue?!
Really thanks in advance,
Rusmir

That is correct. You must use OS X Recovery to restore OS X in order to reinstall the Mail app.

There is no standalone download available.

I need to install servlet-api.jar in the libext folder.

Hi I am doing a tutorial on struts 2.0.11.
i need to install servlet-api.jar in the libext folder which I have created inside WEB-INF
Now I have downloaded servlet.api which is in the zip form.
When I extract the files. Its giving me two folders
1. javax
2. META-INF
Inside javax there is a folder called servlet. Inside servlet folder there are
a) bunch of call files
b) http folder
c) resources folder
Inside http folder there are
a) class files
b) properties files
Inside the resources folder there are
a) dtd files
b) xsd files
Inside the META-INF folder there is the manifest.mf file
I just need servlet-api.jar
I think that I have extracted the contents of servlet-api.jar by using the extract feature of winzip.
Do you think that by just changing the extension of the file from servlet-api.zip to servlet-api.jar it will do the trick or do i need to do something else.
Please guide

Hi ^^,
your replies were very helpful. I did try to check the lib folder of the webserver and there was not servlet-api.jar. However I downloaded a dummy project and it did have servlet-api.jar in it, so I am ok for now.
thanks and regards,
PrashantYou should not be doing that. Always use the one from the application server which you're going to use. Otherwise you will possibly get in runtime trouble due to version differences.
The actual location and filename of the servlet API might differ per application server implementation. If it was for example Tomcat 6, it is the servlet-api.jar in the /lib directory. If it was for example Glassfish (the current release), then it is the javaee.jar in the /lib directory.
