   Properties properties = System.getProperties(); 

  // Get the default Session object.
  Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

  // Get a Store object that implements the specified protocol.
  Store store = session.getStore("pop3");

  //Connect to the current host using the specified username and password.
  store.connect(host, user, password);

  //Create a Folder object corresponding to the given name.
  Folder folder = store.getFolder("inbox");

  // Open the Folder.
  folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

  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 : ");

  InputStream stream = message[i].getInputStream();
  while (stream.available() != 0) {
  System.out.print((char) stream.read());
  }
  System.out.println();
  }

  folder.close(true);
  store.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

    }
    public static void main(String args[]){
        ReadYahooMail r=new ReadYahooMail();
    }
