Need to setup javamail for testing

Question

Hi team, I am new to Java. I am not able to compile javamail application. I download javamail-1.4.1 and jaf-1.0.2 under c:\.
I was update a classpath like this.
.;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_16\bin;c:\javamail-1.4.1\mail.jar;c:\jaf-1.0.2\activation\activation.jar.
Here is my program
public static void main(String[] args) {
// SUBSTITUTE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES HERE!!!
String to = "[email protected]";
String from = "[email protected]";
// SUBSTITUTE YOUR ISP'S MAIL SERVER HERE!!!
String host = "mail.yahoo.com";
// Create properties, get Session
Properties props = new Properties();
// If using static Transport.send(),
// need to specify which host to send it to
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
// To see what is going on behind the scene
props.put("mail.debug", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
try {
// Instantiatee a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
//Set message attributes
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject("Test E-Mail through Java");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// Set message content
msg.setText("This is a test of sending a " +
"plain text e-mail through Java.\n" +
"Here is line 2.");
//Send the message
Transport.send(msg);
catch (MessagingException mex) {
// Prints all nested (chained) exceptions as well
mex.printStackTrace();
}//End of class
When i compile this program i am getting below message
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Applet>javac TestEmail.Java
javac: invalid flag: TestEmail.Java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:
-g Generate all debugging info

Please suggest and correct me on this.

Hopefully it was clear from the error message that javac didn't even try to
compile your program. Perhaps you need to name your file "TestEmail.java"
instead of "TestEmail.Java"?
Also, if you're still using JDK 1.4.2, it's way past time to upgrade. JDK 1.6 has
been available for a long time. And you don't need the JDK directory in your
CLASSPATH.
Finally, double check that the mail.jar and activation.jar files exist at the
locations you used in your CLASSPATH. That's not your current problem,
but it will be important later.
