javamail. Not sure how you get hold of the messages from Outlook
Express, but getting hold of the MIME message in most Unix-based
message stores is relatively easy. You might, however, prefer to go
down the POP or IMAP route for getting hold of the messages to index
-- either way, javamail is your friend.
Just for the record - I've been using javamail POP and IMAP providers in
the past, and they were prone to hanging with some servers, and resource
intensive. I've been also using Outlook (proper, not Outlook Express -
this is AFAIK impossible to work with) via a Java-COM bridge such as
Jawin or JNIWrapper plus Redemption . This also tends to be rather
unstable, and requires a lot of fine-tuning ...
So, be prepared to suffer quite a bit. ;)
