the problem i am facing is that... message.getSentDate(); will show .. Sat Mar 16 11:49:09 GMT+05:30 2002 this format is ok when you display each message separately on different page. but when you are diplaying just limited fields on first page .. like message.getFrom()[0]; message.getSubject(); and displaying the size of the message. now i also want to display the sent date of the message.. but this will return Sat Mar 16 11:49:09 GMT+05:30 2002 which is long and awkward.. i want to display the date something like in this format More>>

The DateFormat class lets you format dates.

You could use the SimpleDateFormat to accomplish what you are looking for.


java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormatter("E MM/dd/yy hh:mm a");
String formattedDate = formatter.format(message.getSentDate());

Hope this helps.
