(we should be able to compare Sun licenses to Apache ones and in general Apache surely wins, trouble is someone has to understand Sun licenses deeply to be able to provide such a comparison).
Also I think the implementations in Commons-Net are much more straightforward (and thus require less set-up) than java-mail.
For example, I don't think it is possible in JavaMail to invoke a pop-store without a backing set of files... (really a guess).

Same question for POP.
Is it just the better licence, or does Commons NET do a better job in some
way?
