Protocol providers settings
To set properties of a protocol provider, which provides the implementation class for a specific protocol to support communication between the mail application and mail servers. Built-in providers: The appserver contains protocol providers for various types of protocols, including SMTP, IMAP and POP3. If we require custom providers for protocols that are not provided by the appserver, install them in the application serving environment before configuring the providers. See the Java Mail API design specification for guidelines. After configuring the protocol providers, return to the mail provider page to find the link for configuring mail sessions.
