JavaMail is a program package for Windows that provides you with a platform and protocol independent framework for building messaging applications. To be more exact, the distribution offers a set of abstract classes that define the objects that compose the mail system. Using these elements, it is possible to implement functions for reading, writing and sending emails.

Operating principle

JavaMail gives you the instruments that are used to create an UI for the messaging system, including system components and interfaces. Although the package does not limit you to creating a particular implementation, it includes several classes for integration of RFC822 and MIME messaging standards.

Functionality

It is necessary to note that the JavaMail facility may be applied to many events. For instance, it can be utilized at the time of registering the user for sending notifications like thanking them for their interest in your website.

Other cases include reminding people about their forgotten passwords via email or telling them about important updates. In order to implement the aforementioned features, you need to use dedicated IDE tools, such as Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio, or similar alternatives.
