Configuration tab

Name

Specifies the administrative name of the JavaMail session object.

JNDI name

Specifies the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name for the resource, including any naming subcontexts.

This name provides the link between the platform binding information for resources that are defined in the client application deployment descriptor and the actual resources bound into JNDI by the platform.

Description

Specifies an optional description for your administrative records.

Category

Specifies an optional collection for classifying or grouping sessions.

Mail transport host

Specifies the server that is accessed when sending mail.

Mail transport protocol

Specifies the transport protocol that is used when sending mail.

Mail transport user ID

Specifies the user ID when the mail transport host requires authentication.

This setting is not generally used for most mail servers. Leave this field blank unless you use a mail server that requires a user ID and password.

Mail transport password

Specifies the password when the mail transport host requires authentication.

This setting is not generally used for most mail servers. Leave this field blank unless you use a mail server that requires a user ID and password.

Enable strict Internet address parsing

Specifies whether the recipient addresses must be parsed in strict compliance with RFC 822, which is a specifications document issued by the Internet Architecture Board.

This setting is not generally used for most mail applications. RFC 822 syntax for parsing addresses effectively enforces a strict definition of a valid e-mail address. If you select this setting, your JavaMail component adheres to RFC 822 syntax and rejects recipient addresses that do not parse into valid e-mail addresses (as defined by the specification). If you do not select this setting, your JavaMail component does not adhere to RFC 822 syntax and accepts recipient addresses that do not comply with the specification. By default, this setting is not selected. We can view the RFC 822 specification at the following Web address for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/.

Mail from

Specifies the mail originator.

This value represents the Internet e-mail address that, by default, displays in the received message, as either the From or the Reply-To address. The recipient's reply comes to this address.

Mail store host

Specifies the server that is accessed when receiving the mail.

This setting, combined with the mail store user ID and password, represents a valid mail account. For example, if the mail account is john_william@my.company.com, then the mail store host is my.company.com.

Mail store protocol

Specifies the protocol that is used when receiving mail; it can be Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), or any store protocol for which an administrator has installed a provider.

Mail store user ID

Specifies the user ID for the given mail account.

For example, if the mail account is john_william@my.company.com then the user is john_william.

Mail store password

Specifies the password for the given mail account .

For example, if the mail account is john_william@my.company.com then enter the password for ID john_william.

Enable debug mode

Toggles debug mode on and off for this mail session.
