<p>The Messaging Middleware module provides application-level APIs to handle

the storage and transport of different type of messages. The message types

that are currently supported are email (POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP), SMS, BIO and

OBEX messages. </p>

<section id="GUID-A61CB959-EF05-49DA-BEEB-E88CC2F78302"><title>Getting started with Messaging Middleware</title> <p>Messaging

Middleware provides APIs to build highly-featured message client applications

to manipulate messages in Message Store and to enable storage of messages

in the Message Store. It also provides support for creating plug-ins to handle

individual messaging protocols. </p> </section>

<section id="GUID-46E6E94B-F973-477A-905D-2EA80C81624B"><title>Architecture</title> <p>The Messaging Middleware architecture

comprises of many components to form the Messaging Framework. The framework

provides plug-ins (polymorphic MTMs) to manage different type of messages.

The set of components that make up a plug-in module is called an Message Type

Module (MTM). All interactions with lower-level communication protocols, such

as, TCP/IP, are performed by MTMs. The Messaging Framework provides APIs to

enable storage of messages in the Message Store. It also provides APIs to

manipulate messages in the Message Store.</p><fig id="GUID-79BA59FD-0DC0-45FF-8882-1E4CB08F5A2C">
