When a mail is read from the mailbox using message.getContent() method,the flag(ie.SEEN)was set to true as message.setFlag(Flags.flag.SEEN,true); then the folder is closed. When i return to the folder again the flag on the read message is found to be false.It is not getting set in the saved folder. So how can I set the flag to true permanently. Please reply urgently. thanks vikas tarade.
If using the Sun POP3 provider, then a message's permanent flags (such as SEEN/RECENT) cannot be set. You can have a look at the sundocs supplied in the JavaMail api to see the exact details of the POP3 implementation. Alternatively, you coulddo a message.saveChanges() to commit the changes
I have no java certifications. This makes me a bad programmer. Ignore my post.
i opened the folder in Folder.Read_Write mode,then i do msgs[i].saveChanges(), but i met problem and the error message is : javax.mail.IllegalWriteException OP3 Messages are read-only. what could i do to make the change permanent ?
