Hi all,
I'm new to the
java Mail ApI.For
testing purposes I needed to install free mail server and outlook in my system.Today I figured out how to configure hmail Server and Microsoft Outlook for testing Java Mail applications and thought I will share with you all so that it can help those who are new to the Java Mail API like me.hMailServer is a free e-mail server for Microsoft Windows. It supports the common e-mail protocols (IMAP, SMTP and POP3) and can easily be integrated with many existing web mail systems.
