Apache Camel reading unread mail from gmail account

Question

Just tried learning Apache Camel.

I am trying to read gmail inbox unread mail.

I got the code snippet while searching but not able to get success from it.

if someone point out the mistake,

    PollingConsumer pollingConsumer = null;
    CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();

   Endpoint endpoint = context.getEndpoint("imaps://imap.gmail.com?username=" + mailId + "&password=" + password + "&delete=false&peek=false&unseen=true&consumer.delay=6000&closeFolder=false&disconnect=false");


    System.out.println("end point:"+endpoint);

    pollingConsumer = endpoint.createPollingConsumer();
    System.out.println("polling consumer:"+pollingConsumer);
    pollingConsumer.start();

    pollingConsumer.getEndpoint().createExchange();
    System.out.println("Exchange is created:");
    Exchange exchange = pollingConsumer.receive();
    System.out.println("pollingConsumer.receive()");

pollingConsumer.receive(); is getting blocked, I have unread mail in my mailbox. Also I tried pollingConsumer.receive(6000); but it returns null.

I enable IMAP access in Gmail settings. is there any thing I am missing?

Let me write the solution, It will help someone facing similar issue .

Actually I have added java mail jar, but imap jar was missing and it was not displaying any error for this.

That is why I was not able to figure out the actual cause.

After browsing the parameters of "imaps://imap.gmail.com", I came across "debugMode" parameter which by default is false. when I added that parameter with value true, then it complained of missing jar on my console. After adding that jar thinks work perfectly.

Thanks for help.

What JDK, OS and application server are you using? And is it the imap.jar from com.sun.mail (http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.sun.mail%22%20AND%20a%3A%22imap%22) ? — Claus Ibsen, Dec 24 '14 at 08:53
