want to set timeout for POP3 connection task

Hello,

I have used Java Mail's POP3 protocol to read incoming email & delete it.

Java Mail works fine. But problem is, some times (most probably for connection failure) when I call store.connect(host, username, password);

code gets stuck at this line. And neither goes to next line nor gives any exception.

Is there any way to set timeout (TTL) for store.connect() ?

Here goes some of my code

Properties props =new Properties();

// Get session

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,null);

// Get the store

store = session.getStore("pop3");

log.debug("Connecting");

store.connect(host, username, password);

log.debug("Connected");

// Get folder

folder = store.getFolder(mailFolder);

folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);

( I have got "Connecting" (from log.debug) but can't get "Connected" :( )

Can any one help me please?

Thanks

Regards
