I'll do so. Thanks -

Yes - this is a Javamail question. I have this working in an app that I use
to send e-mail to our customers with using a Notes server (speaking
Javamail/smtp). When I point the app at James, the callbacks don't work -
when I point it at Notes, they do. It may be my issue, but I was wondering
if this was some sort of 'known issue'...
Not a big deal, just thought I'd ask.

Turns out that I've figured this out. I was trying to get the new and
unread message counts *prior* to opening the INBOX folder. Once I moved my
checks to *after* the INBOX was open, it worked fine.

Thanks to everyone for trying. Not sure why no one can recreate this. I use
the same code to go against the Notes server using smtp and everything
works fine. The James smtp log indicates the messages were accepted. But
the messages to the 'cc' address just disappear. I noticed it first by
using my test bed to send a few messages to James and then using Netscape's
e-mail client to retrieve them - I always got the correct number of
messaegs to the 'to' address, but the 'cc' account always only retrieved a
single message (which was always the last message sent). When I tracked it
down I noticed that the smtp log said all messaegs were accepted, but
looking in the directory for the 'cc' account I would always see only a
single message. I would send messaegs into both accounts, but then look in
the user directories and see all messages sent in the 'to' address, but
only the most recent in the 'cc' address.
Finally, I used windows exploder to look at only the 'cc' account
directory. I'd send a message to both accounts and hit 'refresh' (F5) to
refresh the directory contents. Each time the old message would disappear
and the new message would appear.
Very weird. Fortunately I can work around it, but it's worth keeping an eye
on.
If anyone on the list wants me to, I can create a bugzilla entry that
recounts the behavior. Otherwise I'll just move on...

I'll experiment. I just need to use a version of James for testing my SMTP
apps for now. I can have it running in a dev environment with no 'real'
users - this should allow me to get pretty fast and predictable response.
