What is the difference between <code>javax.mail</code> and <code>javax.mail-api</code>? I found those from maven repository. When should each be used? The software package comes with <code>javax.mail-api</code> but I could not get it work, so I downloaded <code>javax.mail</code>.

<code>javax.mail-api</code> contains only interfaces, and <code>javax.mail</code> contains implementation.

Difference between javax.mail and javax.mail-api

javax.mail-api contains only interfaces, and javax.mail contains implementation.
