Hey Martin:

https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/mail/#Download_Jakarta_Mail_Release

Not sure where to get the latest jakarta.activation.jar.

Java 8 is way beyond end of life.  The current version is 18 but 17 is 
the latest LTS.

Some time ago they changed who was working on JavaMail and the package 
name changed to jakarta.mail and jakarta.activation.  You need both jars.


You can go to my website and get both files:
