Product Overview

EuropaMail is an ISPF-based email client designed for the z/OS platform, providing email capabilities directly within the mainframe environment. It supports standard protocols such as POP3, SMTP, LDAP, and NNTP, allowing users to send, receive, and manage email without leaving the z/OS environment. This integration improves productivity and streamlines workflows for mainframe users.

The architecture of EuropaMail consists of several key components. The ISPF interface provides the user interface for interacting with the email system. The SMTP component handles sending email messages, while the POP3 component handles receiving email messages.

The LDAP component integrates with directory services for user authentication and address book lookups. The NNTP component provides access to newsgroups. EuropaMail integrates with existing z/OS security systems, including RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret, to provide secure email access and management.

It uses configuration files to manage settings for SMTP, POP3, LDAP, and NNTP servers. These files define connection parameters and authentication credentials. The system supports encryption for email communication using TLS/SSL.

Alternatives include OfficeVision and Lotus Domino.
