Quick javax.mail Question

Can anyone tell me if javax.mail is the same as JavaMail API 1.2, if not do you know of a url of where I can download it.
Thanks everyone

Yes, it's the same.

Javax.mail question

I am working on a project and encounter a problem when I try to use javax.mail package to send email. For some season, I have to use a name without the domain name as the sender (such as Sender rather than Sender @sun.com). I got MessagingException called 501 Syntax error, mail from: <Sender>" unrecognized or missing. When I add the domain name in (subtitute Sender with [email protected]), the program worked. My mail server admin told me there is no restriction on the mail server to regulate the sender's name (also it allows relay messaging). I don't know if she is right because I don't know much about mail server. Also, I figured out that I have no problem with InternetAddress("Sender"). The only thing might have problem is Message.send().
Anybody has a thought?
Thanks in advance.

In an effort to reduce the amount of spam hitting, mail relays are configured to refuse to accept pieces of email whose SMTP envelope's From header isn't resolvable
If the header in the form of user@host instead of a globally-resolvable [email protected], a bounce message would return to your user with an error message like:
451 <user@mailhost>... Domain does not resolve
This means that your mail relay is identifying itself as mailhost rather than mailhost.your.domain.
How this is fixed will depend on your mail transfer agent and your own DNS. Given that this is very site-specific, I can't provide any more help about host configuration.
Certain mail user agents (MUAs) like Netscape, Eudora, etc., that want to use an ``SMTP host'' to deliver outgoing mail will write their own SMTP envelope. They'll do this by taking the value that the user provided as their email address (which will appear in the message's From: header and using it in the SMTP envelope From header. A mail transfer agent, configured to use the user's real email address, should be able to send mail to without problem.

Hello,
I don't think this is the right forum, as this question seems to have nothing to do with the Oracle Forms tool.
You'd better ask it in the database forum.

Reading Inbox - javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed;

I get an error message while trying to read emails by connecting to a company mailbox. The message is as follows:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed;
nested exception is:
     java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information
     boolean com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store.protocolConnect(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
     void javax.mail.Service.connect(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
     void javax.mail.Service.connect(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
     void GetMessageExample.main(java.lang.String[])
The code is very simple and as follows:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class GetMessageExample {
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
String host = "companyname.com";
String username = "user";
String password = "xxxx";
try{
// Create empty properties
Properties props = new Properties();
// Get session
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
// Get the store
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(host, username, password);
// Get folder
Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
// Get directory
Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
for (int i=0, n=message.length; i<n; i++) {
System.out.println(i + ": " + message.getFrom()[0]
+ "\t" + message[i].getSubject());
// Close connection
folder.close(false);
store.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I have a two part question:
1. At home I am using a dial-up connection it works when I change the settings to an email account as provided by the local ISP.
I have tried it with both "pop3" and "imap" in
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
for the company email but it does not work.
Is this a problem with company security? Maybe firewall/proxy error? If so how do I get around it?
2. Also, when I am in the office (LAN used to connect to Internet) I cannot even get a connection to the ISP account - similar problem or different?
Any thoughts and help most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

It could be that the mail server is not accepting connections from the machine you are on. Have you tried using Outlook Express or the Netscape email client to connect to the server/account from the machine that is getting the failure?

Javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: No provider for ifs1

Similar to the question found in William Troper's thread run on
November 1. We had mail code working fine, changed some
variables to incorporate a migratable build and have now lost
our mail functionality.
We have followed William's advice by renaming all of Sun's Mail
classes in the ~\9ifs\settings\META-INF directory and still no
joy.
Does anyone have any ideas of what is causing a "No provider for
ifs1" error message?
Cheers,
Susan

Well, I've never used this API but it seems 100% clear what's wrong. And 5 seconds with Google has revealed that there's a method on that class which looks like it will address the issue.
If you can't even read basic error messages, you should seriously question whether you should be programming.

Check the configuration of /atg/dynamo/service/SMTPEmail component and specify proper values for emailHandlerHostName, emailHandlerPort, username, password. By default emailHandlerHostName is configured to localhost and port is set to 25 which is default for SMTP. If you do not know these you can get these details from your mail administrator who has setup your mail-id. You would also need to specify the username and password if your administrator has not allowed for making anonymous connection to the mail server.

Random javax.mail.FolderNotFoundException

Hi all,
we have a java application hosted on Win 2000 wich is using javamail api to interact with MS Exchange 2003. Basically is getting folders and iterating trough them.
From time to time we get an error about javax.mail.FolderNotFoundException.
This is happening really randomly and not on the same folder, the ms event viewer doesn't say so much, and the application has basic log4j error with no stack trace, only the getMessage().
My question is, do you know of any existing bug between the three systems wich could cause such error ?
Where do you think I should start to solve the problem ? Network ? Java ?
thanks in advance...

Turn on session debugging and examine the
protocol trace. See the JavaMail FAQ.

Error: javax.mail.SendFailedException

Hi all,
I have a requirement to send a mail on click of a button. I have written a simple java code using java mail API. But while running the application i am getting
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 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]
If i run the java code as a standalone java application everything is fine. Only in webdynpro application i am getting the above mentioned error.
My question is do we have to configure any settings in the WAS. If so, can somebody give me a detailed answer how to do the configuration.
Thanks and Regards,
Rathna

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.

Problem with recognizing javax.mail.* class ?

Hi Folks,
I am new to JavaMail usage on a standalone java program. I did write a java program to send a mail. The problem is it is not recognizing the javax.mail.* class, though i added on the classpath. I too added mail.jar file in the c:\program files\java\jdk1.5.0_16\lib and added the reference same to the classpath and still it is not recognizing. Do i miss something? help me out guys.
Regards,
jaisuryah

Hi Shannon,
I hope the configuration i did is well. Yah am running the Java from the command line and i dont know why importing the package of javax.mail.* classes are not recognizing. I did unzipped the zip file and placed all the JAR files to lib folder of my installed JDK and referenced the JDK to classpath in environment variable also.
Regards,
Jaisuryah

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.
I am trying to run "msgsend" which is a provided demo of javamail-1.4 using command prompt (start - run - cmd) with the javac command.
The output below is directly pasted from command prompt and written in bold.

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.
