javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: No provider for pop3

Hello,
it's not a bug. With 2.3.4 we need download activation.jar and mail.jar to do imap/pop3 load test.
See :
/usr/share/jmeter/printable_docs/usermanual/get-started.html

/get-started.html#opt_email :
"2.2.3 Email Support
    JMeter has limited Email capabilities. It can send email based on test results, and has a POP3(S)/IMAP(S) sampler. It does not currently support SMTP sampling. To enable Email support, add Sun's JavaMail packages and the activation packages to JMeter's classpath ."

Since 2.4, this files are included in zip archives.
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/changes.html (for 2.4 version)
"Beanshell, JavaMail and JMS API (Apache Geronimo) jars are now included in the binary archive. "

Milamber

activation.jar is already available in the packages in repositories. The problem here seems to be that it is not in classpath of jmeter. I will try to get this fixed ASAP.

I figured out that both activation.jar as well as gnumail-providers.jar need to be added to classpath. With this I do not get the error mentioned in the bug description for 'POP', 'IMAP' as well as 'IMAPS'. But I still get error for POP3S. Does anyone know which jar files need to be in classpath for POP3S to work?

gnumail-providers.jar seems don't include POP3S support.

Only one thread on futur POP3S support (in 2005...) in GNUmail mailing list
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpathx-javamail/2005-06/msg00006.html

You can use this Ubuntu packages, with include POP3S
libgeronimo-javamail-1.4-provider-java
libgeronimo-javamail-1.4-spec-java

This bug was fixed in the package jakarta-jmeter - 2.3.4-2ubuntu2

---------------
jakarta-jmeter (2.3.4-2ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Change build-dep libgnumail-java -> libgeronimo-javamail-1.4-spec-java.
  * Change runtime dep libgnumail-java -> libgeronimo-javamail-1.4-spec-java.
  * Add runtime dependencies libgeronimo-javamail-1.4-provider-java,
    libgeronimo-activation-1.1-spec-java to jmeter-mail. Change launcher script
    accordingly.
    All these changes fix LP: #641140.
