Oh! LOL I misunderstood what you meant by "receive" mail. I didn't
realize that you meant to PULL it. We actually use commons.net, ourselves,
in the FetchPOP code, to pull e-mail as configured. I thought that you
wanted to receive it, i.e., to have mail sent to you via the SMTP protocol.
FWIW, you might also look at JavaMail. We have deprecated our FetchPOP
code, and replaced it with a "Fetchmail" service, built on using JavaMail
service providers.

Thanks. At first glance it looked as James was only a mail server. I
will try the POP jar.

The e-mail package, as I look at it, only allows to send.
But to receive, I am having to use commons-net.
Just FYI. It be nice to give it similar simple receiving commands, that
could use -net. I could "donate" sample code, if someone wants to send
me a private e-mail.

I'd be happy to help out. I couldn't find a todo list, just those two
open bugs. It would be great if one of the committers could outline the
things needed to get email from here to an initial release.
I have an in-development feature for Gump that could use this project.
I also recently posted an email to this list regarding the supporting
classes for the EmailTask in Ant. Perhaps some of that code could be
'reused' :) .

I'd be happy to help out. I couldn't find a todo list, just those two
open bugs. It would be great if one of the committers could outline the

Well, putting it on the WEB PAGE (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/) would
be a start! I didn't even know it existed until Vic asked the question, and
I went to look at the CVS.

It seems pretty complete -- I haven't used it in code myself, but
I've written a similar framework. I contributed a few patches and
suggestions in Bugzilla, but a couple are still open.

It seems to be languishing, but I don't think it really needs much
besides active developers. It could certainly go to the Commons
proper as a beta package, where it might get more visibility and more
people willing to flush out any remaining bugs.
I have a lot of email code at work which I'd consider adjusting to
work with Commons Email if it were in a full release. That's what
led me to review it enough to find the few things I reported.
