I’ve a class which reads email using the javamail api, the problem I’m facing is that when I send a mail containing a .msg attachement from gmail,my code can read it easily,but when I send the same mail for outlook client ,the “.msg” attachement does not show up
the code for my class is as follows:
public class TestEmail {
static int count = 5;
static String ipAddress[] = Utility.getipAddress();
static String auth[] = Utility.getEmailPasswd();
private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = auth[0];
private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD = auth[1];
private static String defaultServer=ipAddress[1];
private static String domainServer=ipAddress[0];
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

and the console output for both cases are
when sent from outlook :
INSIDE IF ATTACHMENT
fileName <><> null
when sent from gmail:
INSIDE IF ATTACHMENT
fileName <><> "Attachment name".msg
any help would be greatly appreciated.
You said “… when I send the same mail for outlook client …”; did you mean from Outlook client?
It’s not required that attachments include a filename; perhaps Outlook isn’t setting a filename for a .msg attachment. You can use the msgshow.java demo program that comes with JavaMail to dump out the entire structure and content of the message. You also might want to examine the raw MIME content of the message to see exactly what Outlook is sending you.
Also, you might want to look at the “isMimeType” method to simplify your code. A message attachment should have a MIME type of message/rfc822.
