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