[jira] [Commented] (EMAIL-203) Switch from javax.mail to jakarta.mail

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17585368#comment-17585368 ] 

Mark Symons commented on EMAIL-203:
-----------------------------------

[~michael-o] , how about switching {{javax.mail}} to {{jakarta.mail}} now... but sticking with the last 1.x version, thus maintaining usage of javax imports (which only changed to jakarta with 2.0.0).

Currently, {{javax.mail}} allows upgrade from 1.5.4 to 1.6.2. Switching to {{jakarta.mail}} per the above would allow upgrade to 1.6.7... released in late 2021, 2.5 years after 1.6.2 (and 6 years after currently-used 1.5.4).
