Use this page to set properties of a protocol provider, which provides the implementation class for a specific protocol to support communication between your JavaMail application and mail servers.
Built-in providers: WebSphere Application Server contains protocol providers for SMTP, IMAP and POP3. If you require custom providers for different protocols, install them in your application serving environment before configuring the providers.
