Answer 1

The error is pretty clear: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.Authenticator. Since javax.mail.Authenticator is missing you must add activation.jar which is the library who contains this class, you can download it from here and add to your WEB-INF/lib.
If you use gradle to build your project it will resolve this dependencies for you simply adding javax.mail since activation is a dependency of it. In gradle simple using this solves the required dependencies:
dependencies {
compile group: 'javax.mail', name: 'mail', version: '1.4.1'
}
Additionally seems that newer versions of 1.4.1 for javax.mail doesn't have this dependency, so instead of use javax.mail 1.4.1 and javax.activation 1.1 you can simply use a newer javax.mail like 1.5.4 which seems the last stable version, you can download from here
Hope it helps,
