title: JavaMail check message content gmail IMAP
body: <p>I am trying to read my messages, I can get it to print the header but the from and the content are displayed funny.
  Here is the code I am using to display the messages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   int j = message.length-1;
      for (int i=j;i&gt;=0;i--) {
          System.out.println("Message " + (i + 1));
          System.out.println("From : " + message[i].getFrom());
          System.out.println("Subject : " + message[i].getSubject());
          try {
              System.out.println("Body: " + message[i].getContent());
          } catch (IOException ex) {
              System.out.println(ex);
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Message 1:
   From: [javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;@175831e]
   Subject: Hello //This is correct
   Body: javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart@15b5219
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why doesn't this print out the actual email address for the from statement? And why doesn't it print out the actual body content? (I am only interesting in the plain text.)</p>
  
  <p>Whole code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import javax.mail.*;

      session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

      Message message[] = folder.search(unseenFlagTerm); 
  
  
      int j = message.length-1;

          try {
              System.out.println("Body: " + message[i].getContent());
          } catch (IOException ex) {
              System.out.println(ex);
          }
      }    
      System.out.println(newMsg);
  
      folder.close(false);
      store.close();
      }
      catch (MessagingException e) {
