ReceivedDateTerm

[Tore Halset <ha...@pvv.ntnu.no>]

Hello.

I have some code to get messages from an imap server newer than a  
given Date using a ReceivedDateTerm. I am porting this code over to  
getting messages from james via pop.

Connecting to james, none of the mailes are matched by the  
ReceivedDateTerm. My app does not know about james, it only uses  
javamail to access james via pop.

Is this a general problem with javamail? Or is there a mail header  
missing from the mails in the james mail server?

Regards,
  - Tore.

Found the answer in the manual..

http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/pop3/ 
package-summary.html

"POP3 does not provide a "received date", so the getReceivedDate  
method will return null. It may be possible to examine other message  
headers (e.g., the "Received" headers) to estimate the received date,  
but these techniques are error-prone at best."
