I am trying to retrieve email using IMAP in android. I have managed to retrieve the messages from inbox folder, but facing difficulty in parsing them, particularly getting the body part of the message (that I intend to use further in my app).

All I need is a function that takes a message and returns me the plaintext body part (disregarding attachments if possible).

```
private String getbody(Message message) {           

    try {
        Object m=message.getContent();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "abc";                // THE BODY PART TO RETURN     

```

}

I have imported activation.jar file. However using `message.getcontent()`; is giving me error:
