Hi Chris,
I see two ways:
- Get at most X latest articles: fetching the message headers using
(last - X) or first -> last as the range in NNTPFolder.getMessages()
- Get exactly the X latest articles: fetching the message headers
using first -> last and keeping only the latest X messages
Either way, the internal cache is used to prevent queries for
previously downloaded messages.
Once the getMessages() returned the array of X recent messages, their
full content can be downloaded using fetch(Message[], FetchProfile)
There would be one property (for example 'mail.nntp.limittolatest' )
that states the number of messages to download at most or exactly.
This property should be read each time before being used so that a
client could change the value before fetching each newsgroup.

Is there a way to do this with the current API ?
As far as I can see there isn't a way to do this with the JavaMail
API. You can do it pretty easily with the inetlib interface.
If you have any suggestions as to how this might be implemented
using property extensions to the JavaMail nntp provider we could
look at that.
