Since:

JavaMail 1.4

Method Summary

Quota[]	getQuota(java.lang.String folder) Get the quotas for the named folder.
void	setQuota(Quota quota) Set the quotas for the quota root specified in the quota argument.

Method Detail

getQuota

Quota[] getQuota(java.lang.String folder)
                 throws MessagingException

Get the quotas for the named folder. Quotas are controlled on the basis of a quota root, not (necessarily) a folder. The relationship between folders and quota roots depends on the server. Some servers might implement a single quota root for all folders owned by a user. Other servers might implement a separate quota root for each folder. A single folder can even have multiple quota roots, perhaps controlling quotas for different resources.

Parameters:

folder - the name of the folder

Returns:

array of Quota objects

Throws:

MessagingException - if the server doesn't support the QUOTA extension

setQuota

void setQuota(Quota quota)
              throws MessagingException

Set the quotas for the quota root specified in the quota argument. Typically this will be one of the quota roots obtained from the getQuota method, but it need not be.

Parameters:

quota - the quota to set

Throws:

MessagingException - if the server doesn't support the QUOTA extension
