Hi All,
Below is the code I use in an Unix environment to connect to my organization's mail server(This is to read mails in my Inbox).


import java.sql.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;

public class readm
{
public static  void main(String args[]) throws MessagingException
{
//Properties props = new Properties();

Properties props =System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.imap.host", "imap.jcom.net");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("imap");
store.connect("gwes.wide.corp.gwes.com", 25, "user", "password");

}

}

I am getting an exception as below:

Exception in thread "main" javax.mail.MessagingException: 220 gwes.wide.corp.gwes.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at  Wed, 3 Sep 2008 08:58:10 -0400 ;
