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.* 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...

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

Problem using Javax.Mail API

Hi Experts,
I am using Javax.mail API to send an email through java application. But i am facing an issue when i am deploying the java application in SAP WAS.
I have assigned values in SMTP Host ,Port, and InternetAddress and deployed to WAS. But when i deploy this java class again in WAS with changing the values for SMTP Host ,Port and InternetAddress and putting in Properties object ,its always picking the values set at first time.
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with following code .
Properties prpt = new Properties();
if (host == null)
host=token[0];
prpt.put("mail.smtp.host",host);
prpt.put("mail.smtp.sendpartial", "true");
if (port == null)
port=token[1];
prpt.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
Session session1=Session.getDefaultInstance(prpt, null);

Problem importing SeaMonkey Mail to AppleMail

Set up my new iMac, transferred data including my SeaMonkey app & mail, then created a new Apple Mail account, when I imported my SeaMonkey mail I got mixed results. BTW - I imported from Library/ Mozilla/ Profiles/default/3DB8epas.slt /Mail. I had set up many sub folders in SM, some of which imported okay and many others were all mixed together along with a huge amount of trash and a lot of duplicates. My mail In & Sent increased way beyond what was in my SM mail program. I'm not sure if part of this is due to the sub folders?
I am tempted to delete all mailboxes I set up in Mail and try the process again from the start?
Any thoughts or suggestions.

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.

Package javax.mail does not exist (Still having trouble)

Good Morning
I know that there are several posts regarding issues with javamail. I have viewed them for the past hour. While several of them address my issue I have been unable to locate a solution.
Bare with me please, I am making this post very thorough. The other threads I have read are frusterating because the problems people tend to post are not clear.

27 errors
Here are the methods I have tried...
1. Make sure you have most current version of Java
2. Reinstall Java
3. Attempt to compile in an IDE (Attempted in Eclipse 3.2)
4. Set class path
Some sources suggest "CLASSPATH" some suggest "CLASS PATH" as the variable name. I have tried both.
Below is what the classpath looks like in bold.
Variable Name: CLASS PATH
Variable value: c:\download\javamail-1.4\mail.jar;C:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar;.
I have double checked all folder names and copy pasted all entries to eliminate typos. Javamail-1.4 and jaf-1.1 are both located in c:\download which is the same location Class Path points to.
Thank you very much for your input and effort. I can imagine how frusterating it is responding to 20million javamail posts :) (that may be a bit of an overstatement!)
Thank you again!

Yes - I have read that part of the README and did exactly as it has said in a previous attempt. I should have mentioned that here I'm sorry :)
I moved the .jar files into the download folder and set the classpath exactly as the readme shows.
When I do that the msgsend.java compiles correctly but it still does not run.
Below is what happens.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\javamail-1.4
\mail.jar;%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>javac msgsend.java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>java msgsend.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: msgsend/java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>
I have tried fixing this error as well via forums and FAQs but it seems to be the most generic error.
One suggestion was to clear your classpath. I tried this with a test hello world program which was giving the same error - "NoClassDefFoundError". By clearing the classpath I was able to get the hello world program to run without this error. But I can't just clear the classpath in this instance because it needs to point to mail.jar and activation.jar for the program to compile.
Thanks again for all of your efforts. You are more appreciated than you know.

Hello,

Problem in sending mail using java mail api

This is the pogram I am using as of now to send a mail to yahoo id.
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class SendingMail2
public SendingMail2()
try
String from = "ravikiran_sunrays";
String to = "[email protected]";
String subject = "the subject u wanna send ";
String cc="[email protected]";
String bcc="[email protected]";
String text="the matter that u wanna send ";
java.util.Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("mail.smtp.host","mail.yahoo.com");
//prop.put("http.proxyHost",System.getProperty("http.proxyHost"));
//prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080");
//prop.put("http.proxyPort",System.getProperty("http.proxyPort"));
//prop.put("http.proxyHost","172.19.48.201");
//System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyPort","8080");
//System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyHost","172.19.48.201");
Session ses = Session.getInstance(prop,null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(ses);
try
Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
message.setFrom(fromAddress);
message.setSubject(subject);
Address[] toAddress = InternetAddress.parse(to);
Address[] cc_address=InternetAddress.parse(cc);
Address[] bcc_address=InternetAddress.parse(bcc);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,toAddress);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,cc_address);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,bcc_address);
message.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
message.setText(text);
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Mail Successfully Sent");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Problem " + e);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Problem " + e);
public static void main(String[] args)
SendingMail2 sendingMail2 = new SendingMail2();
