I have been looking at the javamail 1.2 API. I get the impression that several GUI java developers at Sun created this 'client' mail API. Only problem is that their definition of 'client API' differs significantly from mine. All I want is a Java interface to the pop3 and smtp protocols and they went and modeled the data side of a complete GUI client mail application.

I am not concerned with GUI at all. This is for server-side only. Does anyone know where I can get 'simple' functionality to access a pop3 server and retrieve multiple emails with attachments.

Or what constructors should I be focusing on to get the desired result.

Thanks, pfist
