in my project at work we need to read a mail box… sounds not so easy, but actually is… mule imap:connector for the win 🙂
but testing this is a pain… first of all i needed a mail account with imap access… my company is really big an the processes to get such an email adress is huge… and yeah… we are an isp 😛 so just try to get a simple free email adress with imap… kinda hard… fastmail.fm is the solution…
could connect, but couldnt read or find directories… so had to connect with telnet, to find out everything…
in commandline:
- telnet [host [port]] to connect
- 1 LOGIN username password to log in (the 1 is important… imap needs numbers)
- 1 LIST “*” “*” to list all mail boxes… no clue what the “*” are, but it has listed 🙂
this helped…
