At first glance it looked as James was only a mail server. >I will try the POP jar. Oh! LOL I misunderstood what you meant by "receive" mail. I didn't realize that you meant to PULL it. We actually use commons.net, ourselves, in the FetchPOP code, to pull e-mail as configured. I thought that you wanted to receive it, i.e., to have mail sent to you via the SMTP protocol. FWIW, you might also look at JavaMail. We have deprecated our FetchPOP code, and replaced it with a "Fetchmail" service, built on using JavaMail service providers. --- Noel
