To include Email support in your application, include jboss-seam-mail.jar in your WEB-INF/lib directory. If you are using JBoss AS there is no further configuration needed to use Seam's email support. Otherwise you need to make sure you have the JavaMail API, an implementation of the JavaMail API present (the API and impl used in JBoss AS are distributed with seam as lib/mail.jar), and a copy of the Java Activation Framework (distributed with seam as lib/activation.jar.
The Seam Email module requires the use of Facelets as the view technology. Future versions of the library may also support the use of JSP. Additionally, it requires the use of the seam-ui package.
The mailSession component uses JavaMail to talk to a 'real' SMTP server.
16.3.1. mailSession
A JavaMail Session may be available via a JNDI lookup if you are working in an JEE environment or you can use a Seam configured Session.
The JBossAS deploy/mail-service.xml configures a JavaMail session binding into JNDI. The default service configuration will need altering for your network. https://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JavaMail describes the service in more detail.
