Concept model

The model of w3 JMailServer is quite complex when you go into details but on the other hand, quite simple if you don't, so here is a somewhat simplified model which shows a flow description of how w3JMailServer works. Client The flow described in simple and rough steps is: The user works against an interface ( the client ), to perform certain operations. The interface can be either one of our built in administrative and end-user modules that are accessed via the web or a win32 platform, any simple email client ( Like Microsoft Outlook ), or consist of any other means of accessing the functionality of w3 JMailServer ( such as via WAP or other customized user built interfaces on different platforms ). Protocols The interface then works against the different protocols supported by w3JMailServer. Some of these protocols are: - SMTP - POP3 - Administrative protocol - Webmail protocol Win32 Platform and w3JMailServer The protocols then work against the Win32 platform, on which w3 JMailServer is installed and running ( of course it will be running, our mailserver wouldn´t be down. ), which will together with the Win32 Kernel handle the functionality. The messages and settings are stored using w3 JMailServer´s own storage architecture on the win32 platform.
