I was trying to see if there was a way to search an email inbox from javax.mail. Say I wanted to send a query and have the it return emails to us. Can we parse returned HTML and extract data. Also, if the above is possible how would I "translate" those messages returned by that server to POP3 messages? E.g. we have extracted:
Subject: Foo
Body: Bar
but to open same message using POP3 I need to know it s POP3 uid, or number. I don t think we ll be able to get UID but perhaps we can figure out the number.
I guess the question is:
Can I send a query to email server (such as Hotmail or Yahoo) and get returned emails?
