Javamail performance

Question

I\'ve been using javamail to retrieve mails from IMAP server (currently GMail). Javamail retrieves list of messages (only ids) in a particular folder from server very fast,

Answer 1

Please set the Property mail.imap.fetchsize with the required size. the default is 16k. In case you increase the size of this property, retrieve speed will go up.

props.put("mail.imap.fetchsize", "3000000");

Note that if you're using the "imaps" protocol to access IMAP over SSL, all the properties would be named "mail.imaps.*".

Good Luck.
