Hi all,

My question:IS it possible for JAVA application to listen for incoming mail ? After listening it should retrieve information present in mail..we can do it in JAVA application,if we can, then please guide me which API i should use

I want to read mail's subject line,body part,to & from part and store those information in XL-sheet\HTML...
