Thread: Java Application which will distribute mails from an exchange server

Hi Guys,

I know that this is possible with Java but I would just like to know how and where to start. Basically, we have our Global Mailbox setup and I want to create an application which will distribute the email messages from it to our employees. Reason behind is when using Outlook, our employees can create a rule which can filter the emails they want to get. I need this Java application to have the distribution "in a first come, first serve basis."

The idea is, each employee will have their own individual login to the Java application and will have control whether they want to start or stop getting mail messages. However, they will not have the option to choose which email messages from the mailbox they want to get.

Please help me out and give me some information as to what Java related material should I study. Thank you.

Hi Rednaxela,

I suggest you to experiment with the JavaMail API. I wrote some apps to send/receives e-mails based on JavaMail API and it is working great!

Thank you nickyc and JavaPF for your replies. I will check those Java APIs mentioned.
