Hey, Chuck. Thanks :D
I read that tomcat doc as well yet missed that. I probably didn't really pay attention. :( Thank you. :) Yeah, I think you're right. After I said common/lib one is loaded first, I found something weird. Even if it is loaded first, I believe, it should work as both libraries are the same javamail (but different versions). There is probably some kind of conflict with both jar files so it is not working, isn't it? I'm not sure why it is happening yet I think this is what I'm faced with. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF27/Frequently+Asked+Questions#FrequentlyAskedQuestions-3.2 Does anyone know how to solve this without removing any files?
