Java Mail 1.2 support in next release ?

Hello,

I just want to know if the next release of SOAP Axis will support the Java
Mail
API and hence will be abble to plug another SMTP/POP provider than
IBM pop3.jar and smtp.jar (for example com.ibm.network.mail.* required
SOAPSMTPConnection.java SOAP 2.1) ?

Thancks,

FJ.

That plan has been mentioned before, but there doesn't seem to be much
interest in mail as a transport type. I believe that the initial SMTP/POP3
support was intented more as a novelty. It certainly isn't suitable for
use in a production environment.

In the open source world, that comes down to: "are you volunteering?" ;-)

bfn, Wouter
