Javamail with Domino POP3
When i connect to Domino Server using POP3 protocol, i am not able to retrieve all mails in the INBOX folder. The API does not return all the mails. Moreover, the bahaviour is random. i.e. The no. of mails retrieved varies. Most of the times, none of the mails are retrieved. Using IMAP retrieves all mails always. However, i need to use POP3.
Following is the code-
Properties props = System.getProperties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("host","user","password");
Folder inbox = null;
inbox = store.getFolder("Inbox");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
Message[] messages = inbox.getMessages();
System.out.println("Inbox Number of Messages: " + messages.length);
Please help.

JavaMail can only show you what the server tells it using the POP3 protocol.
Turn on session debugging and examine the protocol trace to see what the
server is telling the client. If you think there's 37 messages in the INBOX but
the server only tells the client about 3 messages when using the POP3
protocol, there's not much that JavaMail can do about that. Check your
server for configuration options that might effect which messages it exposes
through the POP3 protocol.
