Hi , What should i use to save a mail to a file on my hard disk. i have tried doing this.. --------------------------------- MimeMessage mime = new MimeMessage(session); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("test.mail"); mime.writeTo(fos); ---------------------------------------- but it does not store the whole message..only the headers are saved... How to save the whole thing... Also if there are attachments i need to store those also.. Also how to read the message back from file thru Javamail. I could not find any specific answer for this problem in this list. Pls help. Tia. Yogesh. More>>

Yeah, does anyone out there have any suggestion on how I should save the messages in my local? I've tried using random access file and retrieve them later using file.seek but it's not efficient and I have to waste alot of storage space due to the need to specify a certain amount of bytes for a record.

I realise that Netscape merely append all its inbox mail in a particular file n retrieve them later. I mean how do they know where a new mail starts? Do help pls. I only need guidance and ideas.
