[Classpathx-javamail] regarding gnu.mail.providers.mbox

[DHananJay]

Hi All,

Is it possible to access mbox folder on remote machine using
gnu.mail.providers.mbox.

My requirement is to access mbox file on Linux box from windows machine
using this provider. Is it possible or not? If anybody has done this
earlier, it will help me immensly if you could send me your code snippets.


Thanks and regards
DJ

mbox is a local mailbox format. You would have to mount the remote
filesystem. The way to do this in the situation you describe would be to
run Samba on the Linux machine and mount that share on the Windows box
as a drive letter. You could then use the mbox provider to read the
file.
