OK I've fixed it. I had to find the javamail package, install it, and then uninstall the classpathx-mail package. For some reason my system had installed the (apparently incompatible) GNU package rather than the Sun javamail.

But there are several other packages which depend on classpathx-mail, and I get errors when starting Tomcat, for example, when the package has been forcefully removed. Can someone tell me how/where to set the classpath so DSpace uses it's own mail class? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
