Hi Thufir, James is an email server and can talk SMTP, IMAP, POP3. These are the email protocols used on the internet.
Returning to Listing 4, the java client is configured with the host that James runs on, and also the protocol to use (SMTP). The protocol informs the client it must connect to port 25. See [1] and [2] for details and exact description of SMTP.

How do > you know that you're connecting to James and not something else? Here is the code that configures java-mail client with James's address, port and the user. POP3 and IMAP are for retrieval, SMTP is for sending. props.put("mail.user", user); props.put("mail.host", host); props.put("mail.debug", debug ? "true" : "false"); props.put("mail.store.protocol", "pop3"); props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp"); > Is James like Apache httpd where you need it always running as a > service? Or, can you maybe "start" (?) James from within MailClient? You need to start and configure James.
