README ====== JavaMail(TM) API 1.4.4 release -----------------------------Welcome to the JavaMail API 1.4.4 release!

This release includes versions of the JavaMail API implementation, IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 service providers, some examples, and documentation for the JavaMail API. Please see the FAQ at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/faq/ JDK Version notes ----------------The JavaMail API supports JDK 1.4 or higher. Note that we have currently tested this implementation with JDK 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6. While JavaMail will work with JAF 1.0.2, we recommend the use of JAF 1.1 or newer. JAF 1.1.1 is currently the newest version. Note that JAF 1.1 is included in JDK 1.6 and JAF 1.1.1 is included in JDK 1.6.0_10 and later. Protocols supported ------------------This release supports the following Internet standard mail protocols: IMAP - a message Store protocol, for reading messages from a server POP3 - a message Store protocol, for reading messages from a server SMTP - a message Transport protocol, for sending messages to a server The following table lists the names of the supported protocols (as used in the JavaMail API) and their capabilities: Protocol Store or Uses Supports Name Transport? SSL? STARTTLS? ------------------------------------------------imap Store No Yes imaps Store Yes Yes pop3 Store No No pop3s Store Yes No smtp Transport No Yes smtps Transport Yes Yes See our web page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/ for the latest information on third party protocol providers.

Download the latest version of the JavaBeans Activation Framework from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/index-jsp-136939.html and install it in a suitable location. Installation -----------UNIX/Linux ---------1. Unzip the javamail1_4_4.zip archive. (You may have already done this.) 2. Set your CLASSPATH to include the "mail.jar" file obtained from the download, as well as the current directory. Assuming you unzipped javamail1_4_4.zip in /u/me/download/ the following would work: export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/u/me/download/javamail-1.4.4/mail.jar:. Also, if you're using JDK 1.5 or earlier, include the "activation.jar" file that you obtained from downloading the JavaBeans Activation Framework, in your CLASSPATH. For example: export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/u/me/download/activation/activation.jar 3. Go to the demo directory 4. Compile any demo using your Java compiler. For example: javac msgshow.java 5. Run the demo. The '-' option lists the required and optional

command-line options to successfully run any demo. For example: java msgshow lists the available options. And java msgshow -T imap -H <mailserver> -U <username> -P <passwd> -f INBOX 5 uses the IMAP protocol to display message number 5 from your INBOX. (Additional instructions on how to run the simple mail reader demo and servlet demo are provided in demo/client/README.txt and demo/servlet/README.txt, respectively.) Windows ------1. Unzip the javamail1_4_4.zip archive. (You may have already done this.) 2. Set your CLASSPATH to include the "mail.jar" file obtained from the download, as well as the current directory. Assuming you unzipped javamail1_4_4.zip in c:\download the following would work: set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\javamail-1.4.4\mail.jar;. Also, if you're using JDK 1.5 or earlier, include the "activation.jar" file that you obtained from downloading the JavaBeans Activation Framework, in your CLASSPATH. set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\activation\activation.jar 3. Go to the demo directory 4. Compile any demo using your Java compiler. For example: javac msgshow.java 5. Run the demo. The '-' option lists the required and optional command-line options to successfully run any demo. For example: java msgshow lists the available options. And java msgshow -T imap -H <mailserver> -U <username> -P <passwd> -f INBOX 5 uses the IMAP protocol to display message number 5 from your INBOX.
