Just for the record - I've been using javamail POP and IMAP providers
in the past, and they were prone to hanging with some servers, and
resource intensive. I've been also using Outlook (proper, not Outlook
Express - this is AFAIK impossible to work with) via a Java-COM bridge
such as Jawin or JNIWrapper plus Redemption . This also tends to be
rather unstable, and requires a lot of fine-tuning ...
We use javamail a *lot* with the Scalix IMAP server (the web access part
uses IMAP underneath). We have had performance problems with the way
that javamail works, although for just scanning a message store to index
messages it's OK. We have tuned the web access code somewhat to make
it behave better but we've also re-engineered the IMAP server somewhat,
partly with javamail in mind, and performance and resource usage on the
server are now somewhat under control.
So, be prepared to suffer quite a bit. ;)
If you're doing complicated things, yes, but if it's simple access for
the purposes of indexing then you probably don't need to worry too much.
