Welcome to Mail
New terminology in Mail technology includes:
- Protocol Provider, a concept equivalent to Service Provider in the JavaMail
specification
- Mail Provider, a holder of Protocol Providers
New features in Mail technology include:
- JavaMail specification level changed from 1.1 to 1.2, while JavaBeans
Activation Framework (JAF) specification level remains at 1.0
- JavaMail implementation level changed from 1.1.3 to 1.2, and JAF implementation
level moved up from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.
- It is now easier to install and configure custom protocol providers
- You now can define your own custom mail providers, in addition to the
built-in mail provider, to easily mix and match various custom and default
protocol providers
- There is equal support for mail store protocols as for transport protocols,
and equal support for POP3 as for IMAP
- Store-related APIs have been more thoroughly tested. You can define store-only
mail sessions if you would like.
