JavaMail

The JavaMail APIs model an electronic mail (e-mail) system. The APIs provide a platform-independent and protocol-independent framework to build Java-based e-mail client applications. WebSphere Application Server - Express supports the Sun Microsystems Inc. JavaMail version 1.2 Link outside Information Center and the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) version 1.0.1 Link outside Information Center specifications.

WebSphere Application Server - Express supports JavaMail in all Web application components, including servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.
