Question

I am using JavaMail 1.5.1 and i want to do a UID SEARCH. Is this supported or do i have to issue a low level IMAP command via ((IMAPFolder) folder).doCommand(...)?

Was it helpful?

Solution

((UIDFolder)folder).getMessageByUID(uid)

OTHER TIPS

According with the docs, this is the way:

Folder f = store.getFolder("INBOX");
UIDFolder uf = (UIDFolder)f;
Message msg = uf.getMessageByUID(uid);
