hi ,
it takes too long to retrieve msgs having attachments from mail servers using pop.
is there any way through which this time can be reduced.
it takes more then 10 minutes to download a msg containig attachment of 0.5 mb using javamail.

hi i recieved a 235 kb attachement in 2.07 minutes using javamail.
it takes 235kb to download using gmails online client in around less than 10 seconds.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is possible that your email server did not, as part of the "wizard" configuration, provide the proper settings to auto-configure to the device. Therefore, I recommend you:
Remove this email configuration
Find the proper settings to use, via the EAVT or perhaps by asking your email service provider
Reconfigure this email, but use the manual/advanced screens and manually enter everything, bypassing the wizard
Hopefully that will work for you.
Good luck and let us know!

Problem in retrieving email using java mail api

hi,
In my project,i am retrieving mails from a particular email id.
I am able to retrieve the latest mails and save it in a folder in my system.
The problem is whenever i run the program eventhough the most recently received mail in inbox is retrieved and saved,again it is retrieving the same one and saving it in the same folder(not repeating).
I tried to check the newmessages in the inbox using the folder.hasNewMessage() method in java mail api,but the method is returning false only regardless new mail is there in inbox or not.
I want to read the unread messages only.Dont want to retrieve the already read mails.
I got the mail retrieving code from the below site.(sorry not posting the code because it is so long and having 4 classes)
http://www.builderau.com.au/program/java/soa/Getting_the_mail_in_receiving_in_JavaMail/0,39024620,39228060,00.htm
Can anyone tell me how to read unread mails in the inbox?
Thanks a lot

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

// Get the store

store.connect(popServer, popUser, popPassword);
// Get folder
Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
// Get directory
Message message =folder.getMessages();
Multipart mp = (Multipart)message.getContent();
for (int i=0, n=mp.getCount(); i<n; i++) {
Part part = mp.getBodyPart(i);
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
// Close connection
folder.close(false);
store.close();
catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println("Usage: "

Can I Sync Email using POP?

I have tried trouble shooting this issue with at least 4 technical people at my service provider & had conflicting information from all of them. I have Blackberry 8703 using Outlook 2007 Desktop Manager 4.2 (I loaded & uninstalled all different versions because help desk couldn't figure out my situation), I have a POP account & NOT using Exchange or Blackberry Enterprise Server. I have NO trouble syncing Calendar, Address book or Tasks. Reconcile Messages is not available to me in the Desktop Manager. I have been told I can't sync my emails with outlook. So if I am running Outlook & I receive an email on both desktop & handheld I will have to delete it on both.
My situation is I run a personal business & would like to use my desktop when I'm at my desk & my blackberry when I'm not. This is why I bought it. I'm not a technical invalid I train software but have so much conflicting information I have confused myself.
Can anyone explain please???

Hi.
For BIS accounts the Email reconciliation is controlled from the device, but can depend on your ISP also.
Try going to Messages | Options | Email Reconciliation, and change the "delete on" setting.

How to retrieve email using Original Message ID #

I accidentally deleted a sent message on my Blackberry Bold 9000. I have the delivery receipt that I received in my Outlook that contains the Original Message ID #. However, this email does not have the text of the email that I sent. How can I retrieve the body of the email I sent using this ID #?
Thanks so much for your help with this! It was an important email!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I think that you'd have to ask whoever controls the email server from which you did the deletion. It's gone from the BB...no recovery there.
Best.

Slow to retrieve email from sun converge

Can anybody here has a same problem on the slowness to retrieve email from sun converge?
What is the root cause, is it because of internet speed issue or what?? Pls advise.

What is the root cause, is it because of internet speed issue or what??Let's start with the basics:
=> What version of Convergence?
=> What version of Messaging Server?
=> What browser are you using?
=> When did this problem first start?
=> Does it impact all users?
=> Do you see an issue if you are access Convergence via a LAN connection?
=> How big is the email you are trying to open?
=> Is the delay in opening an email, scrolling through a list of emails, initial loading of the email folders etc?
=> Does the end-user experience slow email access when using an IMAP client?

Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

What is going on with POP email? I can NOT retrieve email unless*...I reboot AND reset!* I POP 3 Comcast emails and my own URL email. Never any problems on Entourage. Hourly issues with my new iPhone—and it's only been 4 days.
This is *unbelievably frustrating* and negates why I got the dang thing in the first place.
Does anyone have a work around? Is this a known bug (Apple) or am I missing something?

I have the same problem intermittently... Every so often, the iPhone goes into a mode where email just doesn't work until i shut down and reboot... Then it works fine...
Its not always the case, but I can't isolate the scenario which causes it to go into this weird mode...

Using iOS 8.1, can I still use pop account for email instead of imap

UUsing iOS 8.1 on iPhone 4. Can I still use pop account for my email instead of IMAP. Don't like all my email on mail server

MMy biggest problem is both iPhone and iPad when I set up email account uses IMAP automatically. So I really have no choice. Since IMAP doesnot allow downloading email to device, I have to leave all restates on mail server. This really concerns me.

API to Fetch email using SMTP from EXCHANGE server.

Hi There,
We have a customer requirement to fetch e-mails from his EXCHANGE server using SMTP. Our application currently supports fetching e-mail using POP, IMAP.
POP and IMAP is disabled in customer environment and there is no way enable them to fetch e-mails.
Please help me to solve this problem by pointing to some APIs available or code.
I searched but not able to find a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Krish.

SMTP is generally, almost strictly used for sending mail not fetching.
I understand that they may not be able to use IMAP or POP, as some rented Exchange services block IMAP,POP services so they can ensure the client is sticking to the Exchange product line etc.
Perhaps you could find a Exchange library for Java? im sure there is one about. There are OpenSource solutions for exchange out there as Linux applications like evolution can communicate with Exchange. I beilve the protocol used in Exchange is MAPI? (or SAPI?)
Another solution would be to just use the clients mail client to export the emails to a more portable format (MBOX? or a folder of EMS files) then import them into Java using InputStreams on the files?
Or, Get an opensource Exchange compatible server software, eGroupware springs to mind, set that up as a proxy or a go-between. set it up to retrieve mail from the Exchange server and enable its POP and IMAP functions and retrieve the mail from it.
Either way Im near 100% certain SMTP is not for fetching mail.
