Hi axis2 devs, I have found out that the parameter names in the axis2.xml for configuring mail transport bear wrong names.
here the relevant sections from the axis2.xml file: <transportReceiver name="mail" class=" org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.SimpleMailListener"> <parameter name="mail.store.protocol" ....> i think this parameter is needed as well (it is missing in the default axis2.xml) <parameter name="transport.mail.pop3.host" locked="false">127.0.0.1</parameter> => should read name="mail.pop3.host" ... <parameter name="transport.mail.pop3.user" locked="false">axis2</parameter> => shuold read name="mail.pop3.user" ... <parameter name="transport.mail.pop3.password" locked="false">axis2</parameter> <parameter name="transport.mail.pop3.port" locked="false">110</parameter> => should read name="mail.pop3.port" </transportReceiver> <transportSender name="mailto" class=" org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender"> <parameter name="transport.mail.smtp.host" locked="false">127.0.0.1</parameter> => should read name="mail.smtp.host" ... <parameter name="transport.mail.smtp.user" locked="false">axis2</parameter> => shuold read name="mail.smtp.user" ... <parameter name="transport.mail.smtp.password" locked="false">axis2</parameter> <parameter name="transport.mail.smtp.port" locked="false">25</parameter> should read name="mail.pop3.port" </transportSender> Regards Vasil -- Vasil Benov, Mobile: +359(0)889/202682 @-mail: benovv at gmail dot com ICQ: 140269988 GPG Fingerprint: 2CDC 5DA0 4C0A 7C06 5259 DE12 ACF3 177C 8906 0908 Public Key URL: *) http://random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de/
