Hi,
Spring seems to have good support for sending email via SMTP but I have not found anything related to using Spring helpers for reading mail via IMAP/POP3.

I was wondering if such a module existed?

Spring's web services components support getting web service replies via POP3/IMAP, but I can't see any way of sensibly re-utilising this functionality to check and parse traditional email messages.

I would rather not reinvent the wheel or grapple with the sometimes painful JavaMail API. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,


David
