Reading emails from Faxcom server with javamail 1.4.2

Our JavaMail-based application reads up to 60,000 emails a day. We recently upgraded to JavaMail 1.4.2 to get more leniency reading poorly formatted messages. So far, it's looking great. We only experienced one issue. Upon upgrading, we stopped being able to receive multiparts sent via Faxcom product. To resolve this, we set the property:
mail.mime.multipart.ignoreexistingboundaryparameterto "false". If it is set to true, it will not be able to read emails from the Faxcom product that were previously successful using JavaMail 1.4.1. Basically, the API returns zero for the multipart count. If you are setting some of the new leniency parameters, I would recommend keeping this "false" unless it solves some specific problem.
Just wanted to post this to see if anyone had experienced the same problem, and to share the solution.

Thanks Bill, I will try setup a simple program to reproduce, or see if I can reproduce with one of the JavaMail sample programs - I also have a FaxCom mailbox setup for testing.
We are also still having trouble consuming a few messages that have a broken Content Type field:
08:37:05.996 INFO: (EmailServer.processMultipart-Thread-21) Inside Content Type: text/plain
name="incoming.txt"
javax.mail.internet.ParseException: Expected ';', got "NAME"
at javax.mail.internet.ParameterList.<init>(ParameterList.java:280)
at javax.mail.internet.ContentType.<init>(ContentType.java:110)
...etc..
I will also look and find out which mail client that came from. Maybe the solution here is trying to ask the sender to fix/upgrade/switch mail clients.
But other than these 2 occasional problems, 1.4.2 is working great in production and we are getting a lot fewer failures.

Anyone having trouble conisistenly downloading email from comcast server with IOS 5?

My Iphone 4 with IOS 5 just started having issues downloading email from comcast server consistently. It is working, but there is SOMETIMES a delay in download and then it works perfectly other times. Sometimes it tries to download the same 200 emails over and over. Anyone have any ideas? I have already deleted and re-added my email account, reset phone and still not working properly. Apple genius bar thinks it is a comcast issue IOS 5.

Hello David,
Please follow the steps provided here to properly configure your iPhone. This is a quide from another user. I you follow this exactly, the Comcast e-mail account will verify properly, and you will be able to send and receive all of your e-mail without having to create a Gmail account, as previously discussed. You can ignore their comment.
Thank you.

How to read emails from Microsoft Exchange Server

I have microsoft exchange server and I want to read emails from microsoft exchange server. There is no POP3 server. So is it possible?
If it is possible to read emails from microsoft exchange server then please give me some idea.
Thanks

Hi,
My company is using Microsoft exchange server.
IMPA and POP3 has been disabled, but my requirement is I wan to read email.Then ask the administrator of the server to enable IMAP. If you have a valid business requirement to do that, there would be no reason for the administrator to refuse.

No longer receive emails from iCloud server

Since I transferred to iCloud from MobileMe, it seems that I no longer receive any emails from the server in my Outlook mailbox. I tried to add an new email account to Outlook but it kept saying "An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available". So I tried to search an unencrypted connection by clicking NEXT. The system then asked me to verify my me.com account details. I've tried many many times but no joy. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Many thanks, C

As mentioned, there is a critical MS patch that came out yesterday that they SHOULD install, but this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
Does the phone get email when you manually launch the mail app, and it's only the notifications that are not happening, or can you not get mail at all?
If it's only missing notifications you should first reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to Power Off" message and keep holding).
If this doesn't fix notifications ask your IT guys what the KeepAlive timer is set to; it should be 59 minutes. This is NOT the default.
Finally, it could be an AT&T network problem. Try turning off WiFi and see if you can access the Internet over AT&T.
If you are not getting emails even when you launch the mail app you have a different problem. Then check if you can get mail via Safari and OWA.

This java class has no error.Then it should work - not only at compile time, but at run-time too.
Because it does not, it means there are errors. And as the error you've posted is not an Oracle SQL or PL/SQL error, your question is off-topic to this forum.
Why would the code not work at run-time? Numerous reasons, including environmental ones. Java inside Oracle are subjected to a number of restrictions and limitations that do not exist in a Java VM outside Oracle (for good reasons).
So you need to consider that too - and that is why I referred you to the documentation... which is IMO mandatory reading for all Oracle developers.

Authentication Error while Sending Email from SMTP server.

Authentication Error while Sending Email from SMTP server. Can receive emails but cannot send emails from this account.

no email account was setup on the phone unless it was issued by your company.
gmail is required but no server address ports to enter.
my gmail account was setup before i took delivery of the phone but could have been done when phone was activated.
i added cox pop3 email and had to manually enter both pop3 and smtp servers with both boxes checked on both servers.
i doubt if it's a verizon issue.

You might want to use IMAP to read mail from hMail Server, if you keep messages on server. It has a lot more features for managing messages on server.
A lot of POP3 implementations (both client and server side) will automatically delete retrieved messages. I don't know exactly what JavaMail does in that regard, nor of hMailServer, but I do know some mailservers out in the wild will ALWAYS delete mails retrieved with POP3.

Mail Mac has deleted all my emails from the server..how to get them back?

Mistakenly, I've changed the options in Mail app in Mac, which says "Remove copy from server after retrieving a massage" Immediately, and it deleted all my emails from the server. Is there anyway to return all my 3000 emails back to the server? cuz I want to access them from anywhere :S it's a hotmail account.

You can create a new IMAP account in Apple Mail, and move all the messages to the IMAP folders. They are synced with the server.
I don't know if hotmail supports imap though, I would prefer Gmail.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Mail Retrieval from POP server with Pipex

Having just moved house, I've had the displeasure of having to disconnect and re-connect my broadband connection through Pipex.
I've re-configured my email settings with my new pipex email address and username, and can send emails without any problems.
However, Mail doesn't retrieve any email from the pop server, and having checked the settings countless times, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Mail doesn't pull the emails from the server.
I've configured my wifes laptop (running windows) and the email sends and receives perfectly from the same account I'm trying on my iMac.
I've phoned Pipex tech support (who don't support Mac questions), and they have confirmed that I have the correct settings, and that they are the same settings for Windows or OSX.
The only thing that has changed as I see it, is my pipex user name and password, which I know are correct as I can send email from the Mail application.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
Am I missing something?
The pop setting is pop.dsl.pipex.com
The smtp setting is smtp.dsl.pipex.com
Can anyone help?

In Rules, you can set up the condition that if "From: contains" whatever is the sending email address of the RSS feed (assuming that these messages are relayed that way and don't come addressed as being from the O.P.), then delete it or move it to a mail folder that you have set up to be "on your mac" and not on the imap server. Or you can create a new condition, based on, for example, "Header contains" or "message body contains, and find some unique attribute only common to these particular messages to use as the evaluation criterion.
Many of these subscriptions let you select a "digest" delivery option so you will get a daily or weekly dump of all the posts, all concatenated into a single email message sent daily (or weekly or whatever). If your subscription has that delivery option, I would recommend that you consider that as your preferred delivery format.

Attempt to read data from the server failed...

I'm getting the following error on one of my email accounts:
+There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[my account]” or try again.+
+The server returned the error: The attempt to read data from the server “[my account]” failed.+
I'd like to find out more about the error, so that I can start to track this down and see if there is a problem with the mail server settings, or if the problem is on my end.
I don't see any reference to this error in the logs – would it be somewhere else?

I've just solved a similar issue.
I have a dedicated server running Plesk 9.5 and when I upgraded to iLife 11 and Snow Leopard this error appeared. I could quickly click "get mail" and I'd get all my mail, but only 3-4 of my 9 mail accounts would connect. Theo others would have the error:
The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server...
I found solutions for those using IMAP mail:
modify the /etc/courier-imap/imapd configuration file and change MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40. This allows all the machines behind my home firewall to connect to multiple accounts on the e-mail server with mailbox caching enabled.
I'd made this change on my server but it didn't seem to have any effect. It dawned on me that I'm using POP, no IMAP. So I found in /etc/courier-imap/pop3d the same settings. I changed the MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40 and voila, all my connections concurrently worked.
This has taken me more than two days to fix and I hope posting this helps someone else with the same issue.

Mail downoading old emails from the server

I have a SBC/Yahoo/ATT/?? account that has been working fine. It was updated to their new secruity and pop server settings a couple of months ago. Since then, I have been prompted several times to re-enter the password when doing send/receive. That was ok, just annoying at times.
This weekend I opened up mail and it downloaded every email from the server (as if they were new)! I had certain emails set to redirect to my office, and so my office email got filled with redirected messages. It did not delete my messages from the server, but now I have duplicate/triplicate emails on my desktop. What happened and how do I prevent this from occuring again?!
Please help.

This is a POP account, right? What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?

My iPad suddenly stopped downloading new emails and also started downloading 16000 emails from the server! Why and how to I fix this?

I cannot get new emails and my iPad is trying to download 16000+ emails from the server!

I would delete the e-mail account from your iPad's Mail Account List, Lock & Unlock your iPad by pressing power button to refresh system, than re-add the Mail Account with the correct POP3 + SMTP settings..

HT6030 Mac Mail 7.1 has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server

I have suddenly realised (over the past 2 weeks) that Mail has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server, at first I thought it was just that no-one was sendfing me any, however, I created an Account with Thunderbird and suddenly received dozens of them. I've tried many of the "googled" fixes but none seem to work for me....
Can anyone help me to get my Apple Mail performing correctly please.

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. leonie also supplied some information.
