This java mail client is using IBM's latest 1.3.1
However we weren't talking about IBM's Java releases, we were talking about Sun's Java releases which have a nasty habit of being dependent on specific releases of glibc. For example http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4654443.html documents that the move by Red Hat to glibc 2.2.5 broke jdk1.4.0 I just downloaded 1.3.1_05 and it appears Sun did get around to applying the fix to the 1.3.1 JDK as well, but in general you can't depend on older Sun Java releases working on newer versions of the Linux distributions as they upgrade glibc.
