Session

Synopsis

The Session object provides access to the current JavaMail session and, therefore, to most JavaMail functionality. Instances of Session are retrieved via the static getSession() method, which allows creation of unshared mail sessions, and getDefaultInstance(), which returns a default session for the current JVM.

The various get methods of Session can be used to retrieve message stores and transports. The set methods can be used to specify default service providers, or to set a PasswordAuthentication object for a particular mail URL.
