GNU JavaMail is a free implementation of the JavaMail API specification,
|
|
version 1.3. All the code has been written from scratch without
|
|
reference to Sun's code, which allows GNU JavaMail to be used on a
|
|
completely free operating system such as GNU/Linux or the Hurd. The code
|
|
is optimized to work with free Java implementations, nothing prevents it
|
|
from being used with any compliant JVM.
|
|
|
|
GNU JavaMail provides a protocol-independent framework for building mail
|
|
client applications in Java. The API itself provides a complete MIME
|
|
implementation, and drivers for individual messaging protocols, known as
|
|
providers, can be plugged into the JavaMail framework dynamically.
|
|
Several providers, implementing Internet standard protocols, are
|
|
included with GNU JavaMail. These include:
|
|
|
|
* SMTP, IMAP, POP3
|
|
* NNTP including posting to news servers
|
|
* The UNIX mbox format
|
|
* Dan Bernstein's Maildir format
