Did you read all the doocumentation for those 2 products? javaMail needs a mailserver, and the installation instructions can be found in the readme.txt that comes with the download. you'll also need to install some additional stuff (according to the manual).

Oracle provides a samplle code at http://javamail.kenai.com/nonav/javadocs/ .
i assume (from a quick look) that "my-mail-server" should be the IP of the computer you installed james on.

the james readme also details how you can setup your settings, using a configuration file, or a remote host.
