Parsing email file with mime4J

I found this example for parsing an email: http://www.mozgoweb.com/posts/how-to-parse-mime-message-using-mime4j-library/

But the example is not working, because import org.apache.james.mime4j.message.Message; is not working.

How can I create a Message from a file?

 MessageImpl mimeMsg = new MessageImpl();
 //Get some standard headers
 System.out.println("To: " + mimeMsg.getTo().toString());
 System.out.println("From: " + mimeMsg.getFrom().toString());
 System.out.println("Subject: " + mimeMsg.getSubject());
Solution

    <dependency>
