Example of Javamail with SMTP and POP3 on SSL

Hello all,

I am new to Javamail. I was working on a project in C++ under MS Windows
(I know, boo) and decided to switch to Java. Most things are going well,
except the mail part. I need to send and receive E-Mail with POP3 and SMTP
running on SSL. I need to use authorization and alternate port numbers. It
should be simple, but I don't seem to be able to figure it out. Could
someone out there that knows a lot more than me about Javamail (that won't
be hard) send or post a simple example of doing this?

TIA,
Adam

I put Java Mail and SSL into google. This popped out

http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip115.html

also Sandy McArthur's page http://sandy.mcarthur.org/Java/JavaMailSSO

There is something a little goofy about using SSL to get your mail to
the server then travelling all the rest of the way unencrypted.
Perhaps you want to look into S/MIME for end to end encryption.
