please help me

hi,

try adding .jar files path to CLASSPATH

Prasanth.C

prasanth.c

The problem resides in your import statements. There is no such package as java.mail.* or javax.mail.Internet.*.

The correct imports should read:

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

Hopefully this will do it.
