1. Re: Authentication with IMAP or POP3
cosmo Feb 22, 2010 4:48 PM (in response to jjackall)Well, you can try open a socket to your mailserver and then use POP3 commands to authenticate
against it. Also, this can calrify it a bit more http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/pop.html -
2. Re: Authentication with IMAP or POP3
jjackall Feb 24, 2010 12:54 PM (in response to jjackall)Thanks Aldo,
I asked our university's IT staff and they said it wont be with pop3 commands. It must be with SMTP.
As in the java with open socket, i think we cant do in the jboss. So i have to do something different. On the internet, there are so many examples but nothing is similar to mine. I take the usernama and password from the login page and i have to use it for authentication.Again thanks aldo,
sincerely

3. Re: Authentication with IMAP or POP3
cosmo Feb 24, 2010 4:33 PM (in response to jjackall)In that case, a good thing to try is to use a sniffer(like Wireshark) and see how your mail client is authenticating against the server. Once you have that, the rest should be as simple as put that logic in the authenticate method.
