E-Mail APPLICATION Configuration Service Provider

4/8/2010

OMA considers each transport to be an application and requires a corresponding APPLICATION configuration service provider.

The following list shows the supported EMAIL transports:

• 25, for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
• 110, for Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)
• 143, for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)

The following image shows the configuration service provider in tree format as used by OMA Client Provisioning.

In the root characteristic, the default security roles are defined. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode. The following table shows the default settings

Characteristics

• APPLICATION
  The root node for the APPLICATION object.

• APPAUTH
  This characteristic is used to specify authentication information.

• APPADDR
  This characteristic is used specify the address of the incoming or outgoing e-mail server.

• PORT
  This characteristic is used in the APPADDR characteristic.

Parameters

• APPID
  The APPID parameter is used in the APPLICATION characteristic to differentiate application protocols.

  The following list shows the port numbers that are used to identify the individual APPLICATION configuration service providers.

  • 25, for SMTP
  • 110, for POP3
  • 143, for IMAP

  You can specify only one folder for each APPLICATION section. The folder should be defined outside of any resource that uses the NAME parameter.

  APPIDs must be registered with OMA. When you register an APPID, you should also register application-specific parameters that are not defined in the OMA Client Provisioning XML schema.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Access type	Read/Write
