hi,

I want to connect to gmail or yahoo mail server to fetch the new messages.
I am trying to connect to gmail using the below code:
but i am getting the error "messageException connection failed"

what would be the reason... Please do suggest ways to handle it.


[code]

public class TestMail{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String user="xxx";

new TestMail().receive(user,passwd);
}

private void handle(Message msg) throws Exception {
System.out.println("From:" + msg.getFrom()[0].toString());
System.out.println("SentDate:" + msg.getSentDate());
}

private void handleText(Message msg) throws Exception {
handle(msg);
System.out.println("Content:"+msg.getContent());
}

private void handleMultipart(Message msg) throws Exception {
String disposition;
BodyPart part;
Multipart mp = (Multipart) msg.getContent();
int mpCount = mp.getCount();
for (int m = 0; m < mpCount; m++) {
handle(msg);
part = mp.getBodyPart(m);
disposition = part.getDisposition();
System.out.println(disposition);
if (disposition != null && disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT))
{
BufferedReader areader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("you get an attachment : " + part.getFileName());
System.out.println("Save attachment? [Y to read / N to end]");
String line = areader.readLine();
if ("Y".equalsIgnoreCase(line))
{
saveAttach(part);
}
else{}
} else if(disposition.equals(Part.INLINE)){
System.out.println(part.getContent());
} else {}
}
}

public void receive(/*String receiverMailBoxAddress, */String username,String password)

{
String host = "pop3.gmail.com";
try {
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class",

"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
prop.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback ", "false");
prop.setProperty("mail.pop3.port", "995");
prop.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", "995");
// props.add ("mail.host", "pop3.mail.yahoo.com");
prop.put("mail.pop3.host", host);
prop.put("mail.store.protocol", "pop3");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(prop);
Store store = session.getStore();
System.out.println("your ID is : "+ username);
System.out.println("Connecting...");
//store.connect(host, username, password);
store.connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, "geethscv_r@yahoo.com","gheegive");
System.out.println("Connected...");
Folder inbox = store.getDefaultFolder().getFolder("INBOX");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

Message[] msg = inbox.getMessages();

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

for (int i = 0; i < msg.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Subject:" + msg[i].getSubject());
System.out.println("Read message? [Y to read / N to end]");
String line = reader.readLine();
if ("Y".equalsIgnoreCase(line))
{
handleMultipart(msg[i]);
System.out.println("****************************") ;
}
else if ("N".equalsIgnoreCase(line))
{
break;
}
else
{}
}
if (inbox != null) {
inbox.close(true);
}
if (store != null) {
store.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}


thanks & regards,
