Javax mail download
Here are the steps to download and install the JavaMail API:
Option 1: Download from Oracle
- Go to the Oracle website and navigate to the JavaMail API download page: https://javaee.github.io/javamail/
- Click on the "Download" button to download the JavaMail API JAR file (e.g.,
mail-1.6.2.jar
). - Save the JAR file to a location on your computer (e.g.,
C:\JavaMail\mail-1.6.2.jar
on Windows or~/JavaMail/mail-1.6.2.jar
on macOS/Linux). - Add the JAR file to your project's classpath or library.
Option 2: Use Maven or Gradle
If you're using Maven or Gradle for your project, you can add the JavaMail API as a dependency to your project's build file.
Maven:
- 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>
- Run
mvn clean package
to download and install the dependency.
Gradle:
- Add the following dependency to your
build.gradle
file:dependencies { implementation 'com.sun.mail:javax.mail:1.6.2' }
- Run
gradle build
to download and install the dependency.
Note: Make sure you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your computer, as the JavaMail API requires Java 8 or later to run.
Once you've downloaded and installed the JavaMail API, you can use it in your Java project by importing the javax.mail
package and creating a Session
object to send or receive emails.
