Was it a message from DavMail? Or from the OS? It may be indicating some legacy behavior (re. bug) that the app relies on that has been fixed in recent versions. It's also possible that DavMail was relying on some advice I've seen online that indicates the only way to get Java installed on Yosemite is to use the last version Apple provided. http://www.appstorechronicle.com/install-java-osx-10-10-yosemite The "recent update" they refer to is from May of this year and does indeed provide Java 6. > Turns out that Oracle Java 7 is no longer supported in Yosemite, you have to > upgrade to Java 8.
