From Server-Side Functions

The Email plugin install a new variable in the server-side function's context: "mail". "profile" attribute is the profile name in configuration.

Example to send an email writing a function in JS:

mail.send({
      profile : "default",
      to: "orientdb@ruletheworld.com",
      cc: "yoda@starwars.com",
      bcc: "darthvader@starwars.com",
      subject: "The EMail plugin works",
      message : "Sending email from OrientDB Server is so powerful to build real web applications!"
    });

On Nashorn (>= Java8) the mapping of JSON to Map is not implicit. Use this:

mail.send( new java.util.HashMap{
      profile : "default",
      to: "orientdb@ruletheworld.com",
      cc: "yoda@starwars.com",
      bcc: "darthvader@starwars.com",
      subject: "The EMail plugin works",
      message : "Sending email from OrientDB Server is so powerful to build real web applications!"
  });

From Java

OMailPlugin plugin = OServerMain.server().getPlugin("mail");

Map<String, Object> message = new HashMap<String, Object>();
message.put("profile", "default");
message.put("to",      "orientdb@ruletheworld.com");
message.put("cc",      "yoda@starts.com,yoda-beach@starts.com");
message.put("bcc",     "darthvader@starwars.com");
message.put("subject", "The EMail plugin works");
message.put("message", "Sending email from OrientDB Server is so powerful to build real web applications!");

plugin.send(message);
