egrep -i 'jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec' | \

If I understood correctly, you want to do the same thing that this shell command, but in pure Java, not by running it from Java. One advantage of the port can be portability.

I think you want JavaMail to do the mail access. I am not a specialist of this API, but I used it in a small Processing program to show its usage: Email sketch.

Then you need to filter out the results and to isolate the part you want, which isn't very hard.

  String cmd = "mailq | grep -B1 -i temporarily | grep -iv deferred | "
              +"egrep -i 'jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec' |" 
              + " \'{print $1}\' | awk \'{print  substr($0,10,14)}\'";
    try
    {
      ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("bash", "-c", cmd);
      Process p = pb.start();
      p.destroy();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {e.printStackTrace();}

In general this type of issues is handled in java by 'Runtime' class. Here Runtime example java you can find an example of how to do that

The newer approach would be using ProcessBuilder class though
