Mail provider settings

Use this page to edit mail provider properties or configure a new mail provider. 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 > mail_provider, or create a new mail provider by clicking Resources > Mail > Mail Providers > New.

Scope

Scope in which the mail provider supports installed mail applications.

Name

Name of the mail provider.

Description

Resource provider description.

Isolate this mail provider

That this mail provider will be loaded in its own class loader. This allows the application server to load different versions or implementations of the same mail provider in the same Java Virtual Machine. Give each version or implementation of the mail provider a unique class path that is appropriate for that version or implementation.

Class path

Class path to a Java archive (JAR) file containing the implementation classes for this mail provider. If more than one JAR file provides the complete implementation, add an entry for each JAR file that the mail provider requires. Enter one class path per line; do not use class path separator information.
