Question

I am generating emails using Spring JavaMail and Velocity Template to send to the customer.I have to store these outgoing Emails into some folder in .MSG format.I did so much research on the web.But not able to find right Java API to do this.And in Spring Java Mail I am not able to find writeTO() method which is in JavaX.mail API.Can some one help me with this issue.

Answer 1

You already found that javax.mail.Part has a writeTo method.

So what you need is a way to “convert” a spring simple mail to an javax.mail

It should work more or less this way:

org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMailMessage message 
message = new MimeMailMessage(new SmartMimeMessage(getSession(),
           getDefaultEncoding(),
           getDefaultFileTypeMap()));
yourSimpleMessage.copyTo(message);

javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage result = message.getMimeMessage());

result.writeTo(yourOutputStream);
