I can't see how either the BINARY Code License Agreement (referenced =
below), or the Entitlement for Software/Software License Agreement =
(referenced above) would be interpreted as open source licenses. So, no. =
I wouldn't treat them as equivalent to an open source license like CDDL.

You should look at =
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html for alternate =
sources of JavaMail (e.g. javamail project, the java.net maven repo, =
etc) under the CDDL/GPL  license.

Alternatively, the Geronimo project has an ALv2 licensed JavaMail =
implementation.
