Mail provider collection

Use this page to begin implementing mail capabilities by selecting a JavaMail service provider, also known simply as a mail provider. The mail provider encapsulates a collection of protocol providers.

To view this administrative console page, click Resources > Mail Providers.

The built-in mail provider made available by WebSphere Application Server encompasses three protocol providers: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Post Office Protocol (POP3). Select the built-in provider if these protocols provide the right support for your mail system. If you have installed or plan to install different protocol providers, assign them a mail provider by selecting New and typing values for the following settings:
