JavaMail API 1.4.1 Release
The JavaMail 1.4.1 release contains several bug fixes, performance improvements, and minor enhancements. Note: Unless you're using Java SE 6, you will also need the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) extension that provides the javax.activation package. We suggest you use version 1.1.1 of JAF, the latest release. JAF is included with Java SE 6.
