Exam code:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class CheckMail {

public static void main(String s[]) {
   //
   //  CheckMail [mailServer] [user] [password]
   //
   try {
     CheckMail t = new CheckMail();
     int i = t.checkMyMail(s[0], s[1], s[2]);
     if (i==0) {
       System.out.println("No mail waiting.");
     }
     else {
       System.out.println
        ("There " + (i==1?"is " :"are ") + i +
         " message" +(i==1?"":"s")+ " waiting.");
     }
   }
   catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
}

private void send(BufferedWriter out, String s) throws IOException {
   out.write(s+"\n");
   out.flush();
}

private String receive(BufferedReader in) throws IOException {
   return in.readLine();
}

private int checkMyMail
     (String server, String user, String pass) throws IOException {
   Socket s = new Socket(server, 110);
   BufferedReader in  = new BufferedReader(
       new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
   BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(
       new OutputStreamWriter(s.getOutputStream()));

   receive(in);
   send(out, "USER " + user);
   receive(in);
   send(out, "PASS " + pass);
   receive(in);
   return getNumberOfMessages(in, out);
}

public int getNumberOfMessages
   (BufferedReader in, BufferedWriter out) throws IOException {
   int i = 0;
   String s;

   send(out, "LIST");
   receive(in);
   while((s = receive(in)) != null) {
      if (!(s.equals("."))) {
        i++;
      }
      else
        return i;
      }
