I had the same problem.
That's bcos the read method will be blocking until the data is
available(unless there is connection error or timeout) and the code will
block giving the impression the program has hanged.
So what you should do is once you read the last line (there should be
characters indicating end of response, for instance .CRLF for POP3) you
should exit the loop without doing another read()(or else it will
block).
That way you know it's the end of response and proceed with the rest of
the logic.
Hope this helps

Subject: RE: IMAP Implementation
I'm not sure if I'm working on it alone but I am working on it. I didn't
hear anything specific from Bruce as to how I can help. I assumed he is
the lead on the IMAP implementation. I have some basic functionality
implemented.. login/fetch folders etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had a strange problem with some of the IMAP commands. When I read from
the InputStream after reading the last line from the response, program
just hangs. I'm creating a BufferedReader from the socket input stream.
I'm not sure if i need to reset the stream in some cases. Any thoughts?
I
can post the code later on.
