IMAP presents mail messages as entries in a hierarchy of folders, one of which will be an inbox.
Java Mail comes with Provider implementations for POP3 and IMAP, and the secure versions of those as POP3S and IMAPS.
This HowTo connects to a Google Mail account with IMAPS. IMAP protocol is more advanced than POP. With IMAP, you can talk back to the server and sync your changes automatically.
This Howto connects to a server using the IMAPS (Secure, encrypted IMAP) to download messages with or without attachments and save them into files.
