getting Missing Start Boundary in javax.mail.multipart

I'm trying to read the emails using java mail API.

and when I tries to get count from multipart like this:

multipart.getCount()

I am getting the below exception:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Missing start boundary

    at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.parsebm(MimeMultipart.java:872)
    at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.parse(MimeMultipart.java:493)
    at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.getCount(MimeMultipart.java:240)

Any help is appreciated.

this issue can be resolved with the two properties that MimeMultipart holds... I was also having the same issue and I resolved it with:

System.setProperty("mail.mime.multipart.ignoreexistingboundaryparameter", "true");
System.setProperty("mail.mime.multipart.allowempty", "true");

When you'll read the MimeMulutiPart.java, you'll find 5 properties:


 1. mail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingendboundary(def. true)
 2. mail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingboundaryparameter(def. true)
 3. mail.mime.multipart.ignoreexistingboundaryparameter(def. false)
 4. mail.mime.multipart.allowempty(def. false)
 5. mail.mime.multipart.bmparse(def. true)

and when I tried setting the remaining false to true. it worked for me.
