Support for javax.mail

[kennymacleod]

Writing tests to verify javax.mail (and the newer jakarta.mail) types is hard. The API doesn't support many of the usual design patterns common to Java (e.g. Iterables), there's checked exceptions all over the place, and it's generally hard to use. Those same problems also make it hard to use elegantly with AssertJ.

A dedicated extension for javax.mail within AssertJ would be very welcome.

We are open to have additional modules, but we (the core team) lack time to do it so we would need another contributor to lead that module.

I will be interested in contributing to this module if more hands are needed.

Happy to hear that @kulgan !
Take a look at assert-guava to see what structure you can follow and don't hesitate to ask questions.
