In this example Google SMTP server is used to send email.

Hi All. In case you want to do the reverse and retrieve mail from a POP3 account using JavaMail, I put together an axample at:
http://timarcher.com/?q=node/52
Hopefully it helps you all!
I also have a writeup that presents my EmailDelivery class (and example of how to use it) which I wrote to help me easily send emails from my Java applications using JavaMail. It supports relaying through SMTP servers that require authentication and has convenience methods for easily adding file attachments.
Check it out at:
http://timarcher.com/?q=node/53
Absolutely fine and working good. But the given is the code for sending emails. But can you provide us the code for getting the attachment name in case if the mail is bounced back.
TONS OF THANKS IN ADVANCE
Thanks Siva;
The thing you are telling to me is new to me, if I come up with this scenerio I will deffinately share with you. take care.
thats great!
just 10 minutes earlier i was assigned a task to know and configure java-mail.
i used your post, and done it in less than 10 mins.
thank you so much.

shriram!
check ur password. if still problem … paste your code here … and let me see.
shriram;
Initially I also got some relevant problem like you have. That I was unable to connect with SMTP server. I found my AntiVirus stopping my connection with it. You can check you Antivirus settings for this.
Check your code again by commenting
props.put( “mail.smtp.port”, port );I think it will/should use default port 25. Not full sure but give it a try and share your findings.hi All.. i am getting the same exception as mentioned by shriram..
the solution proposed by tahir..//commenting the props.put( “mail.smtp.port”, port ); is taking the default port as 25.. but it is gining me the same exception.. the complete stack trace is as follows..

Hi all,
Thanx a ton for the load of information.
I was wondering if it is possible to go through the content of an email without actually having to open the message and then retrieve certain info out of them (eg. embedded URLs).
If so, can someone please help me out with the code for the same.
Thanks in advance,
Hi Kapil,
Yes it is possible. What you have to do is:
1. Get the Inbox Folder
store = session.getStore( mailProps.getProperty( “MAIL_PROVIDER” ) );
store.connect( “mail.gmail.com”, “login”, “password” ) ;
inbox = store.getFolder( “INBOX” ) ;
inbox.open( Folder.READ_ONLY ) ;
2. Get Messages fron InBox
Message[] messages = null ;
messages = inbox.getMessages() ;
3. Iterate through each Message in messages array, read the Message Content section
for ( int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++ )
{
if (messages[i].getContentType().equals(“text/plain”))
{
String content = (String)messages[i].getContent();
// HERE APPY SOME STRING MATCHING PATTERN TO MATCH THE URL YOU ARE LOOKIN FOR INSIDE MAIL BODY, WHERE YOU FIND THE MATCH, … READ THAT URL …
}
if( messages[i].getContent() instanceof Multipart )
{ // ITS MEAN YOUR MESSAGE IS MULTIPART, WHICH SHOWS IT HAS SOME ATTACHMENTS ALSO, SO YOU NEED TO WRITE LOGIC TO PARSE MULTIPART MESSAGE.
}
}
I hope you get the idea, and will extend the above code to write parser for multipart messages. Then you will be ready to parse both messages body/content (plain messages, attachment message), and identify the embedded URLs inside them.
Regards!
