If you're only sending mail, it's fairly simple with the Javamail API: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html
Your flex app would send the parts of the email message to the server and the server would construct the message and send it using the Javamail API, and smtp or smtps. Only if you're going to be reading mail in your flex app would you have to worry about POP3 or IMAP. ________________________________ From: Venkat M <venkat_...@yahoo.com> To: "flexcoders@yahoogroups.com" <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 6:30 PM Subject: [flexcoders] E-Mail from flex. Hi All, I have an application that is developed on Flex and JAVA on the backend. I need to provide a new email form the flex end. I will create a field for to email id/ subject/ body in flex and will pass it to java backend. Can some help what has to be done at java end? What email type can be used? Is a valid email/password enough? I was also asked to evaluate SMTP/POP3/IMAP options also. Can you help? Thanks! Cheers, Venkat.
