Hi,

Since a couple of days I'm trying to configure a way of popping mails from a 
mailbox. When looking at the code of MailFolder, I'm wondering if the 
getNewMessages() method is supposed to work.

First of all there is an interesting comment: "This does not seem to be the 
most reliable new msg check"
MailFolder.java: public Message[] getNewMessages()
  |       /* This does not seem to be the most reliable new msg check. This 
should
  |       probably be unread msgs with the msgs marked as read on successful
  |       delivery.
  |       */
  |       if (folder.hasNewMessages() {
  |       ...
  |       }
  | 
 
According to the JavaDoc of POP3Folder.hasNewMessages(), the method always 
returns false.

POP3Folder.hasNewMessages()
  |  Always returns false; the POP3 protocol provides no way to determine when 
a new message arrives.

I would be pleased if someone could indicate if this has been solved in the 
mean time :o)

Regards, Stefan Lecho.
