JavaMail supports IMAP and SMTP in its standard download, and you can get POP3
support as a separate download also (although the POP3 protocol doesn't
support folders the way it sounds like the original requestor would like).

You can use JavaMail in an applet just like you can on the server. However,
you will run into security restrictions trying to access the mail services on
any server other than the one you downloaded the applet from, unless the
applet is signed. See the applet security docs in the JDK documentation
bundle for more information.

PS#1: There is indeed an undocumented simple SMTP class in some JDKs, but
you're better off not using it -- you have absolutely no guarantee that the
class will be there on any given platform, or that the calling sequences won't
get changed in the future. That's why nearly every Java add-on API you see
defines standard interfaces (documented) that are portable across custom
implementations (normally not documented).
PS#2: Even if you use the undocumented class, or write socket-level mail
protocol logic yourself, you still have to deal with the security issues of
the applet sandbox.
