  • 0

I’m building an app that uses Gmail to backup some data. I use XOAUTH to connect to Gmail and got the token and secret. But i could not connect to Gmail’s IMAP service. I followed the example at http://code.google.com/p/google-mail-xoauth-tools/wiki/JavaSampleCode:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.imaps.sasl.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.imaps.sasl.mechanisms", "XOAUTH");
props.put(OAUTH_TOKEN_PROP, oauthToken);
props.put(OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET_PROP, oauthTokenSecret);
props.put(CONSUMER_KEY_PROP, Const.CONSUMER_KEY);
props.put(CONSUMER_SECRET_PROP, Const.CONSUMER_SECRET);
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
session.setDebug(debug);

final URLName unusedUrlName = null;
IMAPSSLStore store = new IMAPSSLStore(session, unusedUrlName);
final String emptyPassword = "";
store.connect(host, port, userEmail, emptyPassword);
return store;

When runs, it reports the following exception.

javax.mail.MessagingException: * BYE [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary System Error;
   nested exception is:
    com.sun.mail.iap.ConnectionException: * BYE [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary System Error

    I am facing the same problems.

    After enabling debugging (session.setDebug(true)) I noticed that I was receiving a ClassNotFoundException before the Tempory System Error was being shown.

    08-06 14:38:59.148: I/System.out(3139): DEBUG IMAP: Can't load SASL authenticator: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.mail.imap.protocol.IMAPSaslAuthenticator

08-06 14:39:00.289: E/com.example.gmailandroid.MainActivity(3139):   nested exception is:

    Looking through the JavaMail source code it would appear that this is because it is trying to load com.sun.mail.imap.protocol.IMAPSaslAuthenticator which has dependencies on non-android java resources.
