	The JavaMail API - A Technical Overview
			Abstract


The Java Mail API provides a set of
abstract classes that model the key components
of a mail system. The API addresses a number of
issues, from allowing simple applications to be
"mail-enabled" easily to enabling the creation of
sophisticated mail user interfaces. The API is
designed such that service providers can plug-in
their own implementations, thereby allowing Java
Mail technology clients to transparently connect
to various types of backend servers (standard as
well as proprietary). This talk will discuss the Java
Mail API architecture, and how they might use
them to implement mail features in applications.
The talk will also cover future directions for the
API including security and disconnected mail
operation.
