Tracking the messages in Outlook

Hi,

I'm new to the world of JavaMail. I do not know what exactly Java mail does. I was just browsing to find out if there is any Java project that can be used to work with Microsoft Outlook. Earlier I used Jakarta's POI to work with Microsoft excel. Jakarta also has another project for Microsoft Word.

Basically, I want to track the messages in Outlook. I have to generate a report that contains how many messages are received from a particular person during a particular period.

Is this possible with JavaMail?

It depends on whether you really mean "Outlook" or "Exchange".

If you have a mailbox on an Exchange server that is receiving messages

you want to count, you can access that mailbox using JavaMail, if the

Exchange server is configured to allow IMAP or POP access to the mailbox.

If you have a user who is reading messages with Outlook and storing those

messages on their desktop machine, it is more difficult to use JavaMail to

access those messages.

What do you really want to do?
