Hey, great code – gonna come in handy with a project I’m working on. One problem I have using the example code is I’m only getting 347 total messages, even though the account I’m reading has over 2000. Any suggestions?

Hi, i’ve signed an applet with the Email Processing code but it doesn’t work online.

Errors:

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much

Hi I am trying to read an email from from my POP and send an email after a certain event but i get this error:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1227)

I think for some reason checkmail() is changing the send

Note: the code I submitted passes in a username and password to Auth. I modified Auth to take those in. In Shiffman’s original code, those Strings are set inside of the Auth class itself.

Thus the following:

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth(â€sebastiang@gmail.comâ€, â€œmygmailpasswordâ€));

Should look like this with an unaltered Auth class:

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth());

Wanted to use the SMTP portion of your library to send text messages via e-mail. I use Teleflip.com to send messages (just e-mail a cellphone number to teleflip.com (e.g., 5555555555@teleflip.com).

However, wasn’t able to get the sendMail() method working. I did a little online research and found out that I could adjust the SMTP port of javamail to send messages via SSL to gmail.
I am not sure how secure this is, but it works for the time being.

I changed the following portions of code under the sendMail() method.

// SMTP Session
props.put(“mail.transport.protocol”, “smtp”);
props.put(“mail.smtp.host”, host);
props.put(“mail.smtp.port”, “465″);
props.put(“mail.smtp.auth”, “true”);
props.put(“mail.smtp.socketFactory.port”, “465″);
props.put(“mail.smtp.socketFactory.class”, “javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory”);
// We need TTLS, which gmail requires
props.put(“mail.smtp.starttls.enable”,”true”);

// Create a session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth(“sebastiang@gmail.com”, “mygmailpassword”));

Thaks a lot. This is just what I needed, although when I tested it using my gmail account, I couldn’t find a way to stop retrieving the headers, so I had to ctrl-alt-del and stop javaw.exe. Not even using the Processing STOP button or ESC.

Anyway, it’s pretty simple and easy to use. Thanks again.
