Java Mail AttributeClient Example
This Example shows you how to show attribute of any message using javamail api. All messages are stored in Folder objects.
Folders can contain folders or messages. The Folder class declares methods that fetch, append, copy and delete messages.
Method used in the code given below:
getMessages() of Folder class is
used to get all Message object.
After getting messages object we will use method to find attribute values of
message.
getFrom() method of Message class returns "from" attribute.
getReplyTo()method returns addresses to which replies should be directed.
getRecipients(Message.RecipientType type) method returns all the
recipient addresses of the given type.
