How to download javax mail packages

Here are the steps to download the JavaMail packages:

Method 1: Using Maven

If you're using Maven in your project, you can add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>

Then, run the following command in your terminal:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

This will download the JavaMail packages and copy them to your project's target/dependency directory.

Method 2: Using Gradle

If you're using Gradle in your project, you can add the following dependency to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.sun.mail:javax.mail:1.6.2'
}

Then, run the following command in your terminal:

gradle dependencies

This will download the JavaMail packages and copy them to your project's build/libs directory.

Method 3: Downloading the JAR files manually

You can download the JavaMail packages manually from the official website:

  1. Go to the JavaMail website.
  2. Click on the "Download" button.
  3. Select the version you want to download (e.g., 1.6.2).
  4. Click on the "Download" button again.
  5. Save the javax.mail-api-1.6.2.jar and javax.mail-1.6.2.jar files to your project's lib directory.

Note: Make sure to add the JavaMail packages to your project's classpath or build path so that your project can use them.
