Accessing emails from gmail using IMAP ( javamail API)

Question

I am trying to access emails from Gmail accounts through IMAP with the help of the JavaMail API. I was wondering why the code works for one email account but doesn\'t work f

Answer 1

It works this way (It looks like it doesn't work with POP3, but it works with IMAP):

     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.store.protocol", "imaps");
     Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
     Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
     store.connect("imap.gmail.com", [theMailAccount@gmail.com], [thePasswordOrAppPassword]);

     // You possibly will have to use [Google Mail]/All Mail instead
     Folder inbox = store.getFolder("[Gmail]/All Mail");
