Method Detail

connect

public abstract void connect()
                      throws AuthenticationException,
                             MessagingException

A generic connect method that takes no parameters. Subclasses can implement the appropriate authentication schemes. Subclasses that need additional information might want to use some properties or might get it interactively. Most clients should just call this method to connect to the store.

Throws:

AuthenticationException

MessagingException

Since:

TotalCross 1.13

close

public abstract void close()
                    throws MessagingException

Close this store and terminate its connection. Any Messaging components (Folders, Messages, etc.) belonging to this service are invalid after this store is closed. Note that the store is closed even if this method terminates abnormally by throwing a MessagingException.

Throws:

MessagingException

Since:

TotalCross 1.13

getFolder

public abstract Folder getFolder(java.lang.String name)

Return the Folder object corresponding to the given name. Folder objects are not cached by the Store, so invoking this method on the same name multiple times will return that many distinct Folder objects.

Parameters:

name - The name of the Folder. In some Stores, name can be an absolute path if it starts with the hierarchy delimiter. Else it is interpreted relative to the 'root' of this namespace.

Returns:

Folder object

Since:

TotalCross 1.13

getDefaultFolder

public abstract Folder getDefaultFolder()

Returns a Folder object that represents the 'root' of the default namespace presented to the user by the Store.

Returns:
