That is an easy fix. You have to download the MySql Connect driver and copy the jar file into the <JAMES_HOME>/lib path (or add it to your classpath manually, but making sure it is in <JAMES_HOME>/lib makes it more easily portable when you migrate systems and keeps your files in one place). You can choose to make a symbolic link in the <JAMES_HOME>/lib folder to point to the jar, but be careful of permissions. You may still hit the same errors I got after you are able to connect. Double check the url as jdbc://<DB_HOST:PORT>/<DB_NAME>;create=true
