Sorry for bugging you guys but this keeps me busy:Should it be possible to retrieve pop3 mail with a scheduled Java Agent using Javamail?

Does anyone know a good article/book/source to start with?

Thanks in advance!

Marcel,I hate to tell you but I don’t think that it is possible.

If you think about it, you will realise that a Lotus Notes mail client is a piece of software that handles authentication to a Domino server where a mail database is located.

Now suppose that Javamail were able to talk to the Domino server. How would it know who you were?
