Hi,
Since a couple of days I'm trying to configure a way of popping mails from a mailbox. When looking at the code of MailFolder, I'm wondering if the getNewMessages() method is supposed to work.
First of all there is an interesting comment: "This does not seem to be the most reliable new msg check"
MailFolder.java: public Message[] getNewMessages()
| /* This does not seem to be the most reliable new msg check. This should
| probably be unread msgs with the msgs marked as read on successful
| delivery.
| */
| if (folder.hasNewMessages() {
| ...
| }
|
According to the JavaDoc of POP3Folder.hasNewMessages(), the method always returns false.
POP3Folder.hasNewMessages()
| Always returns false; the POP3 protocol provides no way to determine when a new message arrives.
I would be pleased if someone could indicate if this has been solved in the mean time :o)
Regards, Stefan Lecho.
