incoming messages, and transports, which launch
messages toward a destination. Message objects are used to represent
individual emails, and a
Session
object is used to tie message stores, transports, and messages
together. The general capability set of Internet email provides the

An experimental NNTP client is also available from Sun, and various third parties provide support for other messaging systems.[38] The API is currently at Version 1.2; 1.3 should be finalized and released by the time you read this.
I assume you have some general familiarity with the basic concepts of the JavaMail API. If you’ve never programmed with JavaMail, this chapter can be seen as the sequel to Chapter 12 of Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, Second Edition by myself, Jim Farley, and David Flanagan (O’Reilly).
