file to add the email account . For example,
<axisconfig name="AxisJava2.0"> ... <transportSender name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender"> <parameter name="mail.smtp.from">email-address</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.user">user-name</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.password">password</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter> </transportSender> ... ... </axisconfig>
