MessageCountEvent

java.lang.Object
- java.util.EventObject
- - javax.mail.event.MailEvent
  - - javax.mail.event.MessageCountEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class MessageCountEvent
extends MailEvent
```
This class notifies changes in the number of messages in a folder.
Note that some folder types may only deliver MessageCountEvents at certain times or after certain operations. IMAP in particular will only notify the client of MessageCountEvents when a client issues a new command. Refer to RFC 3501 for details. A client may want to "poll" the folder by occasionally calling the getMessageCount or isOpen methods to solicit any such notifications.
