Configure JavaMail

Before you can write and deploy JavaMail applications, configure email services on your iSeries server. Enabling JavaMail in the WAS for iSeries environment involves the following steps:

1. Set up and configure e-mail services
   On the iSeries platform, e-mail services are supported by Lotus Domino R5 Mail Server and TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities. This topic helps you set up and configure e-mail services.

2. Configure a JavaMail session for your applications to use
   You can configure a JavaMail session in one of the following ways, depending on what type of application you are using:

   • With the WAS administrative console. This tool is used to configure a JavaMail session for a servlet, JavaService Pages (JSP), or enterprise bean as the client, or user, of the API.
     See Configure a JavaMail session using the administrative console for more information.

   • With the WAS Application Client Resource Tool. This tool is used to configure a JavaMail session for a standalone client, such as a J2EE enterprise bean client.
     See the Mail session settings for application clients topic for more information.

   Note: Use either tool to perform this task. You do not have to use both.
