Hi,
I am trying hard to create a folder in IMAP (I am using gmail)
Here is what i have attempted so far:
public boolean createFolder(String folderName) throws MessagingException
{
store = session.getStore("imap");
System.out.println("connecting store..");
store.connect("imap.gmail.com", 993, "[email protected]", "password");
System.out.println("connected !");
//using store.getDefaultFolder(); shows error : "folder cannot contain messages"
Folder defaultFolder = store.getFolder("Inbox");
return createFolder(defaultFolder, folderName);
}
private boolean createFolder(Folder parent, String folderName)
{
boolean isCreated = true;
try
{
parent.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
System.out.println("adding listeners...");
parent.addFolderListener(myMailFolderListener);
System.out.println("creating a folder ....");
Folder testFolder = parent.getFolder(folderName);
isCreated = testFolder.create(Folder.HOLDS_MESSAGES);
System.out.println("created: " + isCreated);
parent.close(true);
} catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error creating folder: " + e.getMessage());
isCreated = false;
}
return isCreated;
}
foldername passed: "test 123"
output: folder is created as Inbox/test123
what should i do in this line: Folder defaultFolder = store.getFolder("Inbox"); ??
