[CTJUG Forum] Re: JavaMail bug

[Gerhard Munro]

Enrico,   I have quite a few applications that does the same thing. To assist I need to see more. I also use a for loop and must admit that I seldom get messages bigger than 5 MB.   To delete the message I use msgs[i].setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, true); where msgs is  Message[] msgs.   Regards,   Gerhard Munro   From: CTJUG-Forum@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Enrico Goosen Sent: 01 February 2006 01:11 PM To: CTJUG-Forum@googlegroups.com Subject: [CTJUG Forum] JavaMail bug   Hi All,   Wonder if anyone could help me with this problem. I have a mail reader thread that checks for emails every minute.   // Retrieve the messages Message[] messages = folder.getMessages(); // Loop over all of the messages for (int messageNumber = 0; messageNumber < messages.length; messageNumber++) { … //Process message…save attachments to directory … message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, true); } // Close connection, "expunging" the deleted messages folder.close(true); store.close();   Quite often we receive a very large email (+/- 10 MB), and by the time it gets to the next message in this for loop, the folder/store has already closed. I’ve added code to check if the store.isConnected before attempting to read the next message, but this doesn’t fix the problem of the message not getting deleted.   Because the folder/store has closed prematurely the message doesn’t get deleted.   Is there someway of preventing the folder/store from closing prematurely? Otherwise, how do I make sure that a message gets deleted?   Thanks,   Enrico Goosen Software Developer SAICOM TECHNOLOGY TEL:       +2721 555 0726 FAX:     +2721 555 0821 CEL:     +2783 305 5676 EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
