Mail provider collection

Use this page to view available JavaMail service providers, also known as mail providers. The mail provider encapsulates a collection of protocol providers, which implement the protocols for communication between your mail application and mail servers.

To view this console page, click Resources > Mail > Mail Providers.

The built-in mail provider made available by WebSphere Application Server encompasses three protocol providers: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Post Office Protocol (POP3). Select the built-in provider if these protocols provide the right support for your mail system. If you have installed or plan to install different protocol providers, assign them a mail provider; select the scope at which you want the new mail provider to implement the protocols, then select New.
