I am looking to build an email client using Spring in Java to hopefully get some experience using the Spring framework. Would I be best off using the JavaMail library or the Email library that is part of the Spring framework?
I have no experience with either, just wondered what the best option would be. I mainly want to learn Spring in more detail.
The Spring mail library is just a thin wrapper around the JavaMail API. It's considerably easier to use than the raw API.
It's not a core part of Spring, though, and won't really teach you much about how Spring works.
