Florent, Markus;
first off, thank you both very much for your interesting input on this
issue.

Yes I considered doing so but I do want to keep my application from
polling external mail resources.

That's more the kind of solution I had in mind indeed. Actually, the
connector idea was the piece missing in my mental conception here. So
far I was playing with apache james in a testbed system, and even though
it's a rather usable piece of code, I am missing a real "standard" Java
EE integration and I am not aware of it having something like JCA
support for this very task.

I will have a look at it. How stable is this code of yours in this
project? As long as I am in the process of evaluating things, breaking
my environment once in a while surely won't hurt... ;)
Cheers & thanks again,
