Common Mail

The Common Mail portlet is installed automatically as part of WebSphere Portal installation, and can connect to any type of mail server over the IMAP4 protocol. In addition to basic mail support, the portlet supports an inline rich text editor for message creation and editing, and a spell checker.

To access the Common Mail portlet, from the product banner, click Applications -> Messaging and then click Mail.

Users must have an internet address and an internet password, and can choose Configure (from the dropdown menu in the portlet title bar) to specify the mail server name and protocol, whether to use SSL, the outgoing mail server name, and the credential vault slot for the server. If you are an administrator, you see the command Edit Shared Settings instead of Personalize. This command works the same as Personalize except that changes apply to all users of the instance of the portlet whose settings you are editing, up until the time a user decides to personalize the portlet. In this case, this would result in all users having the administrator email address and user name and password credentials. Use caution when editing shared settings.
