Cannot send email from JIRA - missing class

Question

Hi, I've upgraded JIRA from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4 and now I cannot send email messages. I've copied JNDI configuration from old serer.xml to the new one. I've checked for mail and activation jars in WEB-INF/libs of the new installation but it still doesn't work. What I'm getting when trying to send test email is: HTTP Status 404 - Could not execute action [SendTestMail]:javax/mail/Authenticator

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator at org.apache.naming.factory.MailSessionFactory.getObjectInstance(MailSessionFactory.java:105) at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceFactory.java:140) at

 

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT:

 

furbo:/srv/jira-install/jira-4.4.4 # find . -name "*mail*.jar"
./atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib/mail-1.4.4.jar
./atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib/atlassian-mail-1.25.jar

Yeah, thanks a lot. I bet it wil be something small and easy to miss, so any hints like that are appreciated!

Ah, good - it was duplicate jars breaking my mail last time I broke it, so I thought it was worth ruling out.

Nah, I've created new dir [Jira-4.4.4] under my JIRA_INSTALL directory and installation files are there. So nothing was overwritten. I've moved old files completely away so there's no chance they interfere. I've updated the question with some find calls.
