Answer 1

You create a Message object the same way you would create one for sending, but instead of sending it you write it to a file. You don't need an email server. There's lots of examples of creating messages in the demo programs included with the JavaMail download, and in the JavaMail FAQ. See the Message.writeTo method to write the message to a file (Message is a Part, and writeTo is on Part).
