Need Answer about JavaMail

[Syed Kazim Hussain]

How can I send and recieve e-mail to localhost:8080(No LAN involved)?
Where will it be placed after I send it?
What is the smptHost?
Do I have to download the smtpHost?

Java Mail is like a client, it doesn't do anything mail-wise. You need to install a STMP service (smtpHost) on your computer. JavaMail knows how to speak to a STMP service to receive and send mail.
For Example,
I have Linux installed with Sendmail to send/receive mail. Sendmail controls the receiving (Saved as a big text file for each user).
So, install a mail server before you can start playing with JavaMail.

This isn't really a servlets and JSP problem, and we now have a new forum for other Java APIs including Java Mail, so I've moved this post. I hope you get more answers
