I am trying to connect to IMAP server to read mails knowing that the IMAP mailserver is a local APache JAMES Mailserver. When using pop3 protocol, everything succeed, sending / retrieving messages between clients... But when i changed the protocol to imap, connection exceptiion is being thrown i dunno why...
This is My code :
@Stateless
public class Mailer{
@Resouces(name = "mail/javamailsession")
private Session session;
public void connect(){
IMAPStore store = (IMAPStore)session.getStore("imap");
store.connect("localhost","[email protected]","myPass");
...
...
The exception is being thrown from here at :
store.connect(...
Exception is :
java.mail.MessagingException : Connection refused : connect;
nested exception is :
java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused : connect
Knowing that the result of telnet process is :
Me : telnet localhost imap
Cmd : Ok James IMAP4rev1 server server pc_name is ready
Me : 01 login test@localhost 123456
Cmd : 01 Ok login completed
This means in a way or another that the imap is enabled in the server... So why should such exception occur :S Anybody has an idea ?
Most likely you have a firewall or anti-virus product that's allowing the connection from telnet but preventing the connection from your application. It looks like your application is a Java EE application. I assume the Java EE server is running on the same machine that the mail server is on, and that you ran telnet from.
