      com.jscape.inet.popssl.PopSsl

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class PopSsl

extends Pop

Implements the basic functionality of a secure POP3 client using SSL/TLS. Client supports both implicit SSL/TLS on port 995 (default) and explicit SSL/TLS using STLS command on port 110.

Example Usage (implicit SSL/TLS):

 // connection parameters for SSL connection
 String hostname = "pop3.myserver.com";
 String username = "jsmith";
 String password = "secret";
 int port = 995;

 // new instance hostname, port, username and password
 PopSsl pop = new PopSsl(hostname,port,username,password);
 try
 {
   // connect to POP3 server
   pop.connect();
    // get messages
   Enumeration e = pop.getMessages();
   while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
     EmailMessage em = (EmailMessage)e.nextElement();
   }
    // disconnect
   pop.disconnect();
 }
 catch(Exception e)
 {
   System.out.println(e);
 }
 

Example Usage (explicit SSL/TLS using STLS command on port 110):

 // connection parameters for SSL connection
 String hostname = "pop3.myserver.com";
 String username = "jsmith";
 String password = "secret";
 int port = 110;

 // new instance hostname, port, username and password
 PopSsl pop = new PopSsl(hostname,port,username,password);
 pop.setConnectionType(PopSsl.STARTTLS);
 try
 {
   // connect to POP3 server
   pop.connect();
    // get messages
   Enumeration e = pop.getMessages();
   while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
     EmailMessage em = (EmailMessage)e.nextElement();
   }
    // disconnect
   pop.disconnect();
 }
 catch(Exception e)
 {
   System.out.println(e);
 }
