hi,

1). yes, it will resemble the javamail api to a great extent. but we can
provide more convenient methods than the api.
2). I am not clear what do you mean by ' a Email can send itself'? could you
provide some kind of code snippet?

Hi,

I have two thoughts along the line

+) using the Commons Email API you get access to the underlying
MimeMessage which is pretty much the "clean bean email" you are looking
for
+) the fact that a Email can send itself is "inversion of control" but
the bad one - using some sort of transport layer based on interfaces
would be nice

Cheers,

hi all Commons Email dev,

I found when i want to send several emails in one connection, Commons
Email
doesn't help. It connects to the SMTP server per email, and it spends
more
time on authentication than sending the mails themselve (most SMTP
server
needs authentication). So I have to code on the javamail api directly,
something like:

        SMTPSSLTransport strans = (SMTPSSLTransport) sess.getTransport
();
        strans.connect();
        int num = 1000;
        for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
            SMTPMessage email = createMessage(sess, num);
            strans.sendMessage(email, email.getAllRecipients());
        }
        strans.close();

In my straightforward test, it saves me 2/3 of the time. So I think it
would
be nice to add this kind of function into Commons Email, to make it more
useful. My suggestion is to extract a clean bean Email, which contains
all
email dependent information, e.g. TO, CC, Subject, etc, but leaves out
all
host/server dependent information, e.g. authenticator, host address,
host
port, etc. After that, we can still provide simple convenience method
for
those who only want to send one mail every time. And it is possible to
add
methods like 'addEmail' to add several mails before sending, and later
on,
when it is called 'send', we can send them in one SMTP connection. Does
it
useful? Thank you all.
