JavaMail

The JavaMail APIs model an electronic mail (e-mail) system. The APIs provide a platform-independent and protocol-independent framework to build Java-based e-mail client applications. WAS supports the Sun Microsystems Inc. JavaMail version 1.2 Link outside Information Center and the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) version 1.0.1 Link outside Information Center specifications.

WAS supports JavaMail in all Web application components, including servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, enterprise beans, and application clients.
