Although I do not know the status of these libraries the GNU ClasspathX
project <http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/> is working on free
versions of these apis.

The activation Framework can be found at:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaf.html>

The mail api seems to be only available from CVS through Savannah:
<http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpathx/mail/>

Cheers,

Mark
