Mail provider collection

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.

From the admin console, 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 correct support for our mail system. If we have installed or plan to install different protocol providers, we must assign them a mail provider; select the scope at which we want the new mail provider to implement the protocols, then select New.
