Message not getting deleted from server + Java Mail

[Jigar Naik]

Hi,

I am reading a mail from my mail box using java mail

When i am setting the Flag of particular mail to SEEN and DELETED,It is not getting deleted from server.

bellow is my code.

  
store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(hName, portNo, uName, pWord);
folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
System.out.println("Unread Msg Count : " + folder.getUnreadMessageCount());
int n = message.length;
...
..
..
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
fromMsg = (message[i].getFrom()[0]).toString();
subMsg = (message[i].getSubject()).toString();
if (folder instanceof POP3Folder) {
POP3Folder pf = (POP3Folder) folder;
 
...
 
Part messagePart = message[i];
content = messagePart.getContent();
if (content instanceof Multipart)
messagePart = ((Multipart) content).getBodyPart(0);
String contentType = messagePart.getContentType();
...
Part messagePart = message[i];
content = messagePart.getContent();
if (content instanceof Multipart){
...
messagePart = ((Multipart) content).getBodyPart(0);
String contentType = messagePart.getContentType();
..
...
message[i].setFlag(Flag.DELETED, true);
...
store.close();

do i have to do something extra ???

Have you closed your folder as well? That one takes a boolean parameter that specifies whether or not to expunge all deleted emails. It seems that by default it does not expunge (which is of course the safe way).

i did not close the folder, i got to know from SUN FAQ later on.

thanks a lot..
