class file for javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage not found

Question

I am getting following error while building my project.

City\controller\MyMailHelper.java:59: cannot access javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage
class file for javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage not found

In application code I am referring following imports.

import org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMailMessage;
import org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMessageHelper;

Spring dependency taken from the maven dependency tree of my project is given below . Could someone help me to identify which dependency is making this problem.

Answer 1

bparry's answer still hold. But you should consider replacing it with jakarta.mail instead.

In addition, replace every instance of javax.mail with jakarta.mail in your codebase.
