The following is a simple Java code for reading inbox mails of Yahoo from Internet Messaging Access Protocol or IMAP host for Yahoo.
Caution: The application downloads entire inbox to your desktop application on the console screen.
So be careful as it takes long time for more number of emails.
You may further enhance the following code to download only unread emails.
Java code for filtering the unread emails will be published soon .
