Method Detail

isConnected

public boolean isConnected()

Check whether this store is connected. Override superclass method, to actually ping our server connection.

Overrides:

isConnected in class Service

Returns:

true if the service is connected, false if it is not connected

close

public void close()
           throws MessagingException

Description copied from class: Service

Close this service and terminate its connection. A close ConnectionEvent is delivered to any ConnectionListeners. Any Messaging components (Folders, Messages, etc.) belonging to this service are invalid after this service is closed. Note that the service is closed even if this method terminates abnormally by throwing a MessagingException.

This implementation uses setConnected(false) to set this service's connected state to false. It will then send a close ConnectionEvent to any registered ConnectionListeners. Subclasses overriding this method to do implementation specific cleanup should call this method as a last step to insure event notification, probably by including a call to super.close() in a finally clause.

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in class Service

Throws:

MessagingException - for errors while closing

ConnectionEvent

getDefaultFolder

public Folder getDefaultFolder()
                        throws MessagingException

Description copied from class: Store

Returns a Folder object that represents the 'root' of the default namespace presented to the user by the Store.

Specified by:

getDefaultFolder in class Store

Returns:

the root Folder

Throws:

MessagingException - for other failures

getFolder

public Folder getFolder(java.lang.String name)
                 throws MessagingException

Only the name "INBOX" is supported.

Specified by:

getFolder in class Store

Parameters:

name - The name of the Folder. In some Stores, name can be an absolute path if it starts with the hierarchy delimiter. Else it is interpreted relative to the 'root' of this namespace.

Returns:

Folder object

Throws:

MessagingException - for other failures

See Also:

Folder.exists(), Folder.create(int)

getFolder

public Folder getFolder(URLName url)
                 throws MessagingException

Description copied from class: Store

Return a closed Folder object, corresponding to the given URLName. The store specified in the given URLName should refer to this Store object.

Implementations of this method may obtain the name of the actual folder using the getFile() method on URLName, and use that name to create the folder.

Specified by:

getFolder in class Store

Parameters:

url - URLName that denotes a folder

Returns:

Folder object

Throws:

MessagingException - for other failures

See Also:

URLName

capabilities

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> capabilities()
                                                              throws MessagingException

Return a Map of the capabilities the server provided, as per RFC 2449. If the server doesn't support RFC 2449, an emtpy Map is returned. The returned Map can not be modified. The key to the Map is the upper case capability name as a String. The value of the entry is the entire String capability line returned by the server.

For example, to check if the server supports the STLS capability, use: if (store.capabilities().containsKey("STLS")) ...

Returns:

Map of capabilities

Throws:

MessagingException - for failures

JavaMail 1.4.3

isSSL

public boolean isSSL()

Is this POP3Store using SSL to connect to the server?

Returns:

true if using SSL
