Class IMAPSClient

Direct Known Subclasses:
AuthenticatingIMAPClient

public class IMAPSClient extends IMAPClient
The IMAPSClient class provides SSL/TLS connection encryption to IMAPClient. Copied from FTPSClient and modified to suit IMAP. If implicit mode is selected (NOT the default), SSL/TLS negotiation starts right after the connection has been established. In explicit mode (the default), SSL/TLS negotiation starts when the user calls execTLS() and the server accepts the command.
 
 //Implicit usage:

               IMAPSClient c = new IMAPSClient(true);
               c.connect("127.0.0.1", 993);

 //Explicit usage:

               IMAPSClient c = new IMAPSClient();
               c.connect("127.0.0.1", 143);
               if (c.execTLS()) { /rest of the commands here/ }
 
 
Warning: the hostname is not verified against the certificate by default, use setHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier) or setEndpointCheckingEnabled(boolean) (on Java 1.7+) to enable verification.

  • Method Details Link icon

    • _connectAction_ Link icon

      protected void _connectAction_() throws IOException
      Because there are so many connect() methods, the _connectAction_() method is provided as a means of performing some action immediately after establishing a connection, rather than reimplementing all the connect() methods.
      Overrides:
      _connectAction_ in class IMAP
      Throws:
      IOException - If it is thrown by _connectAction_().
      See Also:
    • execTLS Link icon

      public boolean execTLS() throws SSLException, IOException
      The TLS command execution.
      Returns:
      TRUE if the command and negotiation succeeded.
      Throws:
      SSLException - If the server reply code is not positive.
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs while sending the command or performing the negotiation.
    • getEnabledCipherSuites Link icon

      Returns the names of the cipher suites which could be enabled for use on this connection. When the underlying Socket is not an SSLSocket instance, returns null.
      Returns:
      An array of cipher suite names, or null.
    • getEnabledProtocols Link icon

      Returns the names of the protocol versions which are currently enabled for use on this connection. When the underlying Socket is not an SSLSocket instance, returns null.
      Returns:
      An array of protocols, or null.

      Returns:
      A TrustManager instance.
    • isEndpointCheckingEnabled Link icon

      public boolean isEndpointCheckingEnabled()
      Return whether or not endpoint identification using the HTTPS algorithm on Java 1.7+ is enabled. The default behavior is for this to be disabled.
      Returns:
      True if enabled, false if not.
      Since:
      3.4

      cipherSuites - The cipher suites.
    • setEnabledProtocols Link icon

      public void setEnabledProtocols(String[] protocolVersions)
      Controls which particular protocol versions are enabled for use on this connection. I perform setting before a server negotiation.
      Parameters:
      protocolVersions - The protocol versions.
    • setEndpointCheckingEnabled Link icon

      public void setEndpointCheckingEnabled(boolean enable)
      Automatic endpoint identification checking using the HTTPS algorithm is supported on Java 1.7+. The default behavior is for this to be disabled.
      Parameters:
      enable - Enable automatic endpoint identification checking using the HTTPS algorithm on Java 1.7+.
