Mailing

Software-to-user communication is also essential in any enterprise application. Software needs to mail its users about notifications, updates, changes, password change confirmations, and so on. Although in a large-scale development, a separate third-party cloud mailing solution would be a good idea, it's still very common to directly use the mailing APIs to communicate with our users, especially in small-scale developments.

In Chapter 8, Sending Mails with JavaMail 1.6, we'll get a brief introduction to the main mailing protocols. After that, we'll learn and practice how to programmatically send plain text and HTML emails, in addition to optionally attaching files to your emails.
