Javamail implements the protocols POP3, IMAP and SMTP. On a "normal" Domino- Server the only protocol that is started is SMTP and you can send mails using the fully qualified hostname of your Domino- Server.

But this will only work, if your administrator does not restrict access to SMTP.

Receiving mails will not be possible unless your Domino administrator loads and configures the tasks "POP3" and / or "IMAP".

Most admins wont do that, as these protocols are not necessary for the normal use of a domino server where the communication with the clients goes over protocol NRPC (Port 1352), a proprietary protocol by IBM.
