Javax mail download

Here are the steps to download and install the JavaMail API:

Option 1: Download from Oracle

  1. Go to the Oracle website and navigate to the JavaMail API download page: https://javaee.github.io/javamail/
  2. Click on the "Download" button to download the JavaMail API JAR file (e.g., mail-1.6.2.jar).
  3. 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).
  4. 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:

  1. 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>
  2. Run mvn clean package to download and install the dependency.

Gradle:

  1. Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file:
    dependencies {
     implementation 'com.sun.mail:javax.mail:1.6.2'
    }
  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.
