javamail access to a shared mailbox

Question

I\'m trying to write an java application that will access a additional, shared mailbox to read emails and perform other activities. I have no problem reading my own

Answer 1

I am doing the following and it is working fine for me

properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.imaps.auth.plain.disable", "true");
properties.setProperty("mail.imaps.auth.ntlm.disable", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, null);
store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect("HOST", PORT, "DOMAIN\\USER\\SHAREDACCOUNT","pwd");

Here DOMAIN\\USER\\SHAREDACCOUNT would be like this
suppose email account is tarun@abc.com then
abc\\tarun\\shared_MB

You also have to enter the password of tarun@abc.com account.
