JavaMail posted question in another forum but yet to receive any answer, can anybody please help me out here.....
As this is only cmd-line code i have to built it in Servlet/Jsp for My Mail-Client Project........
What is the problem with the code? can any one rectify it?

Why do you insist on asking about the code?

The message says "Connect failed". So your code tries to connect to a server on a particular computer which is supposed to be listening at a particular port. What happens if there is no such server listening? No amount of fiddling with your code is going to fix that.

So remember, real code runs in an environment. The code has to be right, and the environment has to be right too. It's not just about the code.

Consider gmail :
host = "209.85.153.83" //mail.google.com
uname = "myuname"
passwd = "mypasswd"

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;

public class ReadMail {

  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
// login-Code from MailUserBean.java
URLName url = new URLName("imap", "209.85.153.83", -1, "INBOX",
                          "uname", "pwd");
        Properties props = System.getProperties();
        Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
        session.setDebug(true);
        Store store = session.getStore(url);
        store.connect();
        Folder folder = session.getFolder(url);

        folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);


  Message[] message = folder.getMessages();

  // Display message.
  for (int i = 0; i < message.length; i++) {

  System.out.println("------------ Message " + (i + 1) + " ------------");

  System.out.println("SentDate : " + message[i].getSentDate());
  System.out.println("From : " + message[i].getFrom()[0]);
  System.out.println("Subject : " + message[i].getSubject());
  System.out.print("Message : ");

}
  folder.close(true);
  store.close();
  }
}

i just need to connect once to server then step by step i'll proceed
@ Paul mail.google.com is listening and we know there exists such SERVER, please kindly provide further solution...

This is i read from James Holmes small Article in BOOK
POP3
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is the dominant protocol for retrieving e-mail from
e-mail servers on the Internet. POP3 is very basic, allowing e-mail clients to access only
mail in a default “Inbox” folder.
IMAP
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is another protocol for retrieving e-mail from
e-mail servers on the Internet. IMAP has more features than POP and supports retrieving
messages from multiple accounts and folders. IMAP also supports the use of public folders
where messages are shared.

Kindly concentrate on getting rid off the problem instead other issues...

Store store = session.getStore("pop3s");
