If your implementing consists only of a source then I think the third
package name is the best to use. I would discourage you from using
the first as optional components do not belong to the top-level.
If you have additional components for mail handling the second one
would be fine.

This dependency is indicated in the build.xml ant build script. We can't add
(AFAIK) the jars to Cocoon directly because of the Sun licence. Check the
build script and you will find a class test if the mail.jar is available
and see some optional compilation for some mail components.
BTW what does your source do? Reading from an email account and sending
emails (=WritableSource)?
