How to download JavaMail API from Maven

If you want to use the core JavaMail API to send email, you have to get the JavaMail library – ‘mail.jar‘ and ‘activation.jar‘. Unfortunately, those libraries are not available in the Maven central repository, you have to download it from java.Net maven repository.
