<div><p>The JavaMail API provides a set of abstract classes that models an electronic
(e-mail) system. The API provides general mail functions for reading and sending
mail, and requires service providers to implement the protocols.</p>
<p>Service providers implement specific protocols. For example, Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a transport protocol for sending e-mail. Post
Office Protocol 3 (POP3) is the standard protocol for receiving e-mail. Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is an alternative protocol to POP3.</p>
<p>In addition to service providers, JavaMail requires the JavaBeans™ Activation
Framework (JAF) to handle mail content that is not plain text. This includes
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
pages, and file attachments.</p>
<p>All the JavaMail components are shipped as part of the IBM<sup>®</sup> Developer
Kit for Java™. These components include the following:</p>
<ul><li><strong>mail.jar</strong> This JAR file contains JavaMail APIs, the SMTP service
provider, the POP3 service provider, and the IMAP service provider.</li>
<li><strong>activation.jar</strong> This JAR file contains the JavaBeans Activation
Framework.</li>
</ul>
