I plan to use JavaMail for one of my projects, where I need to download some
emails from a IMAP store (gmail), and move them to a issue tracking system.

Is there a way to validate that email was downloaded / fetched with no
corruptions (or partial downlaods)?

I understand from a response at stack overflow that "The IMAP protocol will
tell you how many octets are going to be transfered when you issue the FETCH
command.". Is there a way in JavaMail to get the value of "how many octects
are going to be transfered", so I can cross check the file, once JavaMail
API returns a success for a fetch?

I also found getContentMD5 in IMAPMessage class. Do all IMAP servers support
this? i.e. can I get the contentMD5 before fetching the message and then
compare it to ensure completeness of the email?

Thanks
