ERJavaMail also uses the JavaMail API's underneath, but it includes the jars inside its framework, so you don't need to manually install JavaMail to use it. Because it does not have any external dependencies on other Project Wonder frameworks, you can use it without bringing in any other Project Wonder frameworks. For more information on ERJavaMail, see the [[ERJavaMail>>doc:ERJavaMail Framework]] page.
