Develop applications that use the JavaMail API
- JavaMail API
The JavaMail APIs provide a framework that is platform and protocol independent for building mail client applications that are based on Java. The JavaMail APIs are generic for sending and reading mail. They require service providers, known in the application server as protocol providers, to interact with mail servers that run on pertaining protocols. For example, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a popular transport protocol for sending mail. Mail applications can connect to an SMTP server and send mail through it by using this SMTP protocol provider.
- Debug mail sessions
When you debug a mail application, you can use the mail debugging feature. The mail component generates debugging information, on a per session basis, that can be used for problem determination or tuning.
