Thanks for all the replies! Placing the mail.jar and activation.jar under $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/ solves this problem. But I still don't understand the cause of the problem Also what is the searching order of tomcat when it looks for a java class?

I resolved it by removing all installations of Java and Tomcat and then reinstalling. Not sure what the underlying problem was. My solution was probably overkill, but it worked :) -----Original Message----- From: Lawence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 8:39 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: JavaMail doesn't work Dear all, I installed Tomcat4.1.27 on one win2000 and one winXP. I tried the SendMailServlet that ships with it. The servlet worked fine on win2000 and it gave the following message on winXP:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Message I guess this is because somehow Tomcat can't find the class. (This is wierd since I do not have the problem on win2000). So I downloaded the JavaMail and copied the mail.jar and activation.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib. But the problem was still there. Any suggestions? Thanks! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
