Question

I want to read emails from exchange server over IMAP SSL with JavaMail API. I am using the following piece of code.

Properties props =System.getProperties();

props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol","imaps");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

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

store.connect("server hostname","username","password");

But I am unable to establish a connection. All I get is following error.

javax.mail.MessagingException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path validation failed:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:
timestamp check failed; nested
exception is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path validation failed:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:
timestamp check failed at
com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:618)
at
javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:291)
at
javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:172)
at

I am not sure if there are any pre-requisite steps to be followed for establishing a connection.

Appreciate your help!
