Thank you, RedGrittyBrick
I was planning to use JavaMail API to access the mail server. my
company's squirrelMail can be access from normal web browser anywhere,
even at home. I try to look at my squirrelMail box and I can't find
the mail server address, but I can't find it, is there anyway to find
it out? query the administrator involve alot of steps in my company
and time consuming.
You won't be able to find the mail server address from SquirrelMail. It's not a
user configurable option in SquirrelMail. SquirrelMail is not a SMTP or
IMAP/POP server. It is merely a mail client with a Web interface which itself
requires SMTP and IMAP servers.
Do you think JavaMail will work in this case?
Not to access SquirrelMail. They are two entirely different things. JavaMail is
an API for talking directly to an SMTP server for mail submission and to an
IMAP/POP server for reading mail. You would need to be able to communicate with
those servers to use JavaMail.
actually I am not sure
if the mail server can access from outside world or not? This mail
thing is new to me, is it general practice for squirrelMail mail
server to block out direct access from outside?
It's nothing to do with SquirrelMail. SquirrelMail uses SMTP/IMAP services but
it doesn't control access to them. That is up to those servers themselves, and
other policies within the border firewall.
It is quite common, however, for an organization to only allow external access
to mail via a Webmail interface.
