<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">
