Retrieve body of the message
Hi,
When a message is moved into IMAP folder, how to retrieve the message text only (no attachments only the mail body as text)?

Hi,

Use mime4j to parse the message and get the parts that you need [1].
James does the same if it implements the above mentioned IMAP FETCH command.
Looking at class FetchCommandParser from protocols package I believe James supports partial fetch with text see method addNextElement().
You can find examples of IMAP FETCH commands (with TEXT argument) in the mailbox-integration-tester package. Check the scripts at [2], especially the ones with Fetch*. They are examples of how an imap session between client and server takes place.
I don't know which IMAP FETCH command and args will give you what you need (you'll find out in the RFC :) [3] ) but I think it's possible to get what you need by sending the appropriate IMAP commands, without implementing your own parsing.
If not, please consider adding support for those commands to James.

Loan,
The first option of using MimeTokenStream worked. Thanks once again for your guidance,

Thanks Stan.
The method getBodyContent() gives MIME message but I need the parsed MIME message. The message may have say images, attachments, text etc.. I just want to get the text(plain or html) part of the message.

Hello Jentu,
The mailstore implementations for james provides a getBodyContent of type InputStream. This gets all the message. I think it's the IMAP processor's responsibility to parse (with mime4j) the message and give you access to the parts you need.
The IMAP command is FETCH with TEXT argument [1]. I don't know the status of it's implementation in James.

p.s. I may be wrong.
Cheers,
