How to delete a message?

[xin liu <li...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
I want to use James as my Email server and use Struts
to write a web app similar to Yahoo's email pages. 

My question is: when a user selects the Email he wants
to delete, how can my Java code delete that message
then? 
At first(the first request), I will retrieve the
messages and display them. After that, I will
release(should I? or put them into session?) the
references of folder(INBOX) and messages.
When second request (deleting message request) comes,
how can I uniquely identify the message and delete it?

>From the following message of jGuru:

If it's Sun's POP3 provider, I can cast the Folder to
a com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Folder and ask for the UID
with getUID(Message). This will return the UID as a
String, or null if not available. Is it possible for
James? Or is there any better way?

Thanks a lot!

Xin

You'll be needing to learn the POP3 protocol; use Jakarta Commons Network,
and use their client; or use JavaMail's POP3 client.

By issuing the appropriate POP3 command via one of the interfaces above.
