the gnu javamail implementation is complete and pretty well tested. you
can get it from savannah cvs, and it compiles fine with gcj >= 3.2 and
runs fine under gij.
unfortunately the project can't be distributed as a tarfile atm as it
doesn't have all the correct autoconf scripts. i'm working on this but
i'm not very familiar with m4 and all that.
the other thing to watch out for is that the imap provider in cvs
requires gnu kawa to build and run, and is read-only. i'm looking at
this issue too.
