Configuring mail providers and sessions
Configure your own mail providers and sessions to customize how mail is handled in the application server. A mail provider encapsulates a collection of protocol providers, like SMTP, IMAP and POP3, and others. Mail sessions authenticate users and control access to messaging systems.
About this task
The application server includes a default mail provider that is called the built-in provider. If you use the default mail provider, you only have to configure the mail session.
To use a customized mail provider, you must create the mail session and provider.
