Not sure about this that i will tell you, but have u tried to do this in a loop??

.........
Message message[] = folder.getMessages();

for (int i=0, n=message.length; i<n; i++) {
Multipart mp = (Multipart)message.getContent();
.........


...just a thought, i am trying this also at this time

...ah something else also...

i just add "activation.jar" in the libraries and it is working for me (just to get the ConentType from an e-mail)

You can find it in tomcat\common\lib, if u have apache tomcat.
Thats all until now, i will keep trying

I'm getting the same exception on several "bounce" messages I try to access with JavaMail. I believe that some of them are flat-out wrong in their MIME encoding, as there truly is no start boundary. However, some appear to be OK and causing JavaMail to give an exception. Should this be logged as a bug?

Here's an example similar to yours (I didn't include all the received headers and several addresses are munged):

The message is improperly constructed.

Note that the boundary parameter is "--TKFLZMMSbcaBDNCJdCBMaXGSRbVIAF",
which should appear in the message as a line that looks like:

----TKFLZMMSbcaBDNCJdCBMaXGSRbVIAF

As you can see, they incorrectly included the leading "--" in the boundary parameter value.
You should report this bug to the owner of the software or host that created this message.

As a workaround, create a copy of the message (using the MimeMessage copy constructor)
so that you can modify it, change the Content-Type header to remove the boundary parameter,
and set the System property "mail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingboundaryparameter" to "true".

(I should probably add another property to make it easy to ignore bogus boundary parameters.)

I have identical problem. and possible to remove the boundary?

As with the previous case, please report this bug to the owner of the software
that created this broken message.

If you're using JavaMail 1.4.3, there's a property that will cause JavaMail to
ignore the (bogus) boundary parameter in the message, and try to guess
what the boundary really is. See the javadocs for the javax.mail.internet package.

ok thank you. I use JavaMail 1.4.3 as the command to ignore the boundary? thanks and sorry for my English amateur.

Yes, use JavaMail 1.4.3.

Read the javadocs to find out which property to set.
