Thorsten, I updated the Axiom dependencies to point to the (recently released) 1.6 version of geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec. I believe this should solve the mail issue (at least the issues we saw in the Axis2 mail transport are solved in that version). Note that this JAR only contains the JavaMail API, but no providers. That means that even if both Geronimo's and Sun's implementations are on the classpath, there should be no problem.
I also added an entry in the FAQ section of the Axiom site discussing the JAF/JavaMail issue. All this will be available/published with the next Axiom release.
