[java-dev] net.mail problems

i use max for aprox 10 years, but i have no knowledge of java, and i need some help here.

trying to load net.mail help files, i get the following errors:

• error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException
• error: (mxj) unable to alloc instance of net.mail.send
• error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException
• error: (mxj) unable to alloc instance of net.mail.recv


i found some info in java tutorials (tutorial 9)- it seemed i miss some libraries.  i managed to install java.mail - i simply copied mail.jar to java/lib directory. i'm lost when it comes to  "JavaBeans Activation Framework". I have no idea what to download and how to install......



with only mail.jar installed, net.mail.recv initiates fine, but still fails to check mail. i get the following errors:
