Installing JVMail

Installation of JVMail is very simple.

  1. Download the most recent JVMail release archive from the downloads area of this website.
  2. Create a directory into which JVMail is to be installed.
  3. Unzip the release archive into the newly created directory.
  4. Add the path to the JVMail.jar file to your systems CLASSPATH environment variable.
  5. Run JVMail using the command: java JVMail [arguments]*

If you cannot specify the CLASSPATH environment variable or have problems starting JVMail, the full command line is:

java -cp JVMail.jar;Encoder.jar uk.org.xlevel.JVMail.JVMail [arguments]

* Both command lines are designed for the Sun Microsystems JVM. Other JVM’s might need the command line modified. See the documentation for your system to be certain how to execute JVMail.

To send emails without human interaction, you must use either command line arguments or templates or text files.

For more information on configuring JVMail, go the Configuration and Execution page.
