imap idle on Tomcat does not process emails

[robz]

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why my imap client works in a JUnit but not on Tomcat.
The difference is that in the junit the client receives the messages and those fitered out are logged properly. On Tomcat the client is connected to the mailbox, the emails are seen but not processed.

This is the config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:int-mail="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/mail"
	xmlns:int="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"

	<int-mail:imap-idle-channel-adapter id="customAdapter"

		should-mark-messages-as-read="true" java-mail-properties="javaMailProperties"
		mail-filter-expression="subject == '${my.response.email.subject}'" />

	<int:channel id="receiveChannel">
		<int:interceptors>
			<int:wire-tap channel="logger" />
		</int:interceptors>
	</int:channel>

	<int:logging-channel-adapter id="logger" level="DEBUG" />

	<int:service-activator input-channel="receiveChannel" ref="imapClientService"
		method="receive" />

	<util:properties id="javaMailProperties">
		<prop key="mail.imap.socketFactory.class">javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory</prop>
		<prop key="mail.imap.socketFactory.fallback">false</prop>
		<prop key="mail.store.protocol">imaps</prop>
		<prop key="mail.debug">true</prop>
	</util:properties>

</beans>

This is the client:

import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class MyClientService {
	public void receive(MimeMessage mimeMessage) {
		// ...
	}
}

The configuration is imported in Tomcat along other working Spring configurations.

This is a snippet of logs of JUnit test, where the messages are processed but ignored because of the filter :

This is a snippet of Tomcat logs, where the new message can be seen but is not processed:

A4 OK NOOP completed.
* 1 RECENT
* 265 EXISTS

Where is the mistake? Please help me! TIA

Solved.
Runninig in Tomcat there was a dependency in maven so that instead of javax.mail:mail it used org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec and the exception didn't appear in logs.
