Regardless of all this, I would expect to be able to achieve your requirements (apart from the searching of a POP3 mailbox) quite comfortably within two weeks by downloading one of the webmail packages from SourceForge (there are several).

Are you required to write the code yourself? If so, you have a fair bit of work ahead of you, but it should be achievable.

Get James up and running first. Use Mozilla mail or any other mail client as the client for testing. Once that works, get one webmail packages from SourceForge. The thing to watch for here, is that last time I looked (a couple of years ago, admittedly) most of these packages were not written in java. (Perl and PHP seem to be prevalent.) This will make it hard to get your web interface running in Tomcat (unless you are writting your own). Consider using apache server rather than tomcat if you need to run the non-java packages.

If you are writing your own, investigate the JavaMail API from java.sun.com.

Good luck

i just need to do the below using jsp or any language can be used with
tomcat only using james with mysql:

Tomcat is a web application server, James is a mail server. They are not
related.


1)user login session and goes to inbox page

"inbox page" sounds like webmail. James is not a web server. Users log
into a POP3 session, and use that protocol. If you need webmail, that's a
different application.

2)receiving emails

Again, POP3 protocol handles mail retrieval.

3)searching email in folders

POP3 doesn't support searching or folders. IMAP does, but James does't have
support for IMAP at this time.
