JavaMail API

Аннотация

Email was the Internet’s first killer app. One of the most frequently asked questions about Java is how to send email from a Java applet or application. While it’s certainly possible to write a Java program that uses sockets to communicate with mail servers, this requires detailed knowledge of some fairly complicated protocols, such as SMTP, POP, and IMAP. Just as the URL class makes interacting with HTTP servers a lot simpler than it would be with raw sockets, so too can a class library dedicated to handling email make writing email clients a lot simpler.
