Java Mail Demo - msgsend.java
I have placed the 2 files into the following directories
and updated the classpath as follows
c:\j2sdk1.4.0_02\jre\lib\ext\mail.jar
c:\j2sdk1.4.0_02\jre\lib\ext\activation.jar
CLASSPATH = C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02\jre\lib\extmail.jar; C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02\jre\lib\ext\activation.jar
The program compiles fine but when I go to run it says:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: msgsend
I have made no changes to the code, and my claspath seems correct. Any ideas?
The class that could not be found was the msgsend.class not the ones in the jar files. The jar files were pathed fine since you were able to compile the class. The reason you were getting the error was because the local directory was not in the classpath.
I specify the local directory by adding a period (c:/some.jar;.) to the end of the classpath in the environment variables in Windows and set it in the shell script I use to execute with in Linux.
I believe that setting the classpath from the command line will automatically include the directory you are currently in which would explain how you got it to work.

Please send me a fully working war file if any one have with the web server used ! Please I have to subit this as my assignment!You might want to try the latest version of that app included
with JavaMail 1.4. It has a few fixes that might help you.
Hopefully you're not going to take credit for this with your
assignment. :-) -

There are loads of tutorials on the sun site and elsewhere, you need to read these and start coding. No-one is going to write this for you.
Before posting questions use the search bar to the left, most of the questions you ask have been dealt with MANY times before, you will find code quickly using the search facility, saving you a lot of time. -
I've just installed Javamail and I've gotten the demo servlet working. However I've compiled my own Javamail servlet, but it doesn't seem to be working. It compiles correctly, but it doesn't send the email. I have the correct settings for the SMTP and I was told, since I'm using my own computer, "localhost" would do for the name of the SMTP server. They both compile correctly and I've the mail server address I have is correct. Any ideas?

Hi All,
I am a new bie to java mail, i am trying to run the msgsend.java in the demo. I am using eclipse and i have added the activation.jar and mail.jar in the classpath. still it says unable to resolve javax.mail.*
can anyone help me
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
VenkiI know nothing about Eclipse...
You probably need to add the jar files to your project or something
like that, rather than just adding them to the classpath when you
start Eclipse. You can also try putting them in the jre/lib/ext directory
of the JDK that Eclipse is using. -

How to delete message from the fodler of AOL account using Java mail
Hello All,
I am using Java MAil API in my application, i want to delete message from AOL account's folder,
when i set the folder as "Recently Deleted" or "Trash" , i get an exception as "folder does not exist".
when i tested , some times mail is moving into Recently Deleted folder, but not every time.
this is happening in both the interface as AOl Interface or my application.
when i use folder.close(true) after setting the flag of message as DELETED. it completely remove the message from the acount.
but i want to let the message be remained in the Recently Deleted folder. what should i do.
i dont want to remove the message completely from the account.I am using IMAP also.You'll need to figure out what the real name of the "Recently Deleted" folder is on the AOL IMAP server
(assuming it's a real folder and not some sort of "virtual" folder), then copy the message into that folder.
See the folderlist.java demo program as a way to explore the names of all the folders on the server. -
How to use a progress bar with java mail?
Hi, i'm new here.
I want if someone can recommend me how to show a progress bar with java mail.
Because, i send a message but the screen freeze, and the progress bar never appear, after the send progress finish.
ThanksSo why would the code we post be any different than the code in the tutorial? Why do you think our code would be easier to understand? The tutorial contains explanations about the code.
Did you download the code and execute it? Did it work? Then customize the code to suit your situation. We can't give you the code because we don't know exactly what you are attempting to do. We don't know how you have changed to demo code so that it no longer works. Its up to you to compare your code with the demo code to see what the difference is. -
I currently downloaded the appropriate programs to use the Mail api however when i compile the messagesend in the demos folder i get an error saying javax.mail does not exist. I'm also having a problem setting up my class path in Systems/Evirnonment. My current path is ;d:\IBMVJava\eab\runtime30;d:\IBMVJava\eab\runtime20;d:\jsdk2.1;d:\jsdk2.1\servlet.jar;d:\jsdk2.1\server.jar;d:\oracle\ora81\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;d:\ol304\learning;d:\ol316\Support\servlet.jar;%ol311_root%;%ol311_root%\ch06;%ol311_root%\ch07;%/TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar\ Where in this path do in insert ".;D:\Java\javamail-1.2\mail.jar;D:\Java\jaf-1.0.1\activation.jar".
Thanks for the classpath information regarding the .jar files. Now when I start tomcat cat it runs appropriately. However I am still having a problem when i try to compile the message send demo. The message I get is javax.mail does not exist,(import javax.mail.) when I downloade the mail api I placed on the root of my D drive and i placed the mail and activation jar files in my lib folded of my Jakarta-3.2.1 lib folder. I graduated Chubb Institute back in october and am currently still looking for work so my memory but be a little fuzzy as to whether or not this is correct. Your help is greatly appreciated.

END OF PROGRAM 2
P.S: CHECKING !!
STEP 1.
First compile and execute the PROGRAM 1 with your USERNAME & PASSWORD. This will send a mail to your own account.
STEP 2.
Now compile both PART 1 & PART 2 of PROGRAM 2. Then, execute PART 1 - Main.java. This will retrive the mail sent in step 1. njoy! :)
In future, I hope this is added to the demo programs of the Java Mail API download package.
This is for 3 main reasons...
1. To prevent a lot of silly questions being posted on this forum [like the ones I did :(].
2. To give the first time Java Mail user with a real time working example without code modification [code has to use command line args like the demo programs - for instant results].
3. Also, this is what google has to say..
"The Gmail Team is committed to making sure you always can access your mail. That's why we're offering POP access and auto-forwarding. Both features are free for all Gmail users and we have no plans to charge for them in the future."
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13295
I guess bshannon & Java Mail team is hearing this....
Again, Hurray and thanks for helping me make it!! cheers & no more frowned faces!!
(: (: (: (: (: GO JCODERS GO!! :) :) :) :) :)

-----Thanks for the reply,
I did checked by enabling session debuging and also checked pop settings it's enabled for all
mails, I tried deleting some very old messages and now the message count is changed to 310.
This may be the problem with gmail.

Problem installing java mail api1.4.1
i installed javamail api1.4.1 by unzipping and setting the classpath for activation(of JAF) and mail(of JavaMail API).. but when i compile a sample program(progname is msgsend) which already exists in the mainAPI directory, i get a message saying-
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javaapplication13_email/msgsend
Exception in thread "main"
i'm not able to figure out the problem..I'm guessing you're a beginning Java programmer and you're confused about how directories
and package names work.
Did you put the source code in a "javaapplication13_email" directory? Did you modify the
source code to add a "package javaapplication13_email;" statement?
Are you using the command line "javac" program to compile?
In the directory where msgsend.java is, using "javac msgsend.java" should compile it.
If it's still not working for you, provide more details about what you're doing. -
Want to send PDF as attachement using Java Mail
HI,
I am using Java mail API for sending PDF as attachment. Here is my sample code
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler("String data for PDF using iText", "text/plain" ));
I am generating String for PDF file using iTEXT but I am unable to find out mimetype for passing into DataHandler as second paramete.
Any idea?
Thanks
ShaileshDon't convert the data to String. It isn't text so
you'll damage the binary content by doing that. In
the "demos" directory of your JavaMail download
you'll find a ByteArrayDataSource class you can use
instead of a FileDataSource. Yes, this worked for me. I create the pdf in memory as as StringBuffer and I just changed the code from
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(pdf.toString(), "application/pdf"));
to
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(pdf.toString(), "application/pdf")));
and it worked.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Dennis
