Mail Server

Liferay Mail Server 的配置, 参考: http://docs.huihoo.com/liferay/4.3/installation-guide/ch05.html

打开${TOMCAT_HOME}\conf\Catalina\localhost\Root.xml文件，编辑其中的Mail/MailSession段，设置如下：

   <Resource
          name="mail/MailSession"
          auth="Container"
          type="javax.mail.Session"
          mail.imap.host="localhost"
          mail.pop3.host="localhost"
          mail.smtp.host="localhost"
          mail.store.protocol="imap"
          mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
  />

在Admin→Authentication可以设置用邮件或者用户名或识别号进行登录。在没有设置好邮件系统的时候，可选择使用用户名方式验证登录。
