Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I'm using Javamail to authenticate into gmail imap server and fetch messages headers for complete mailbox one at a time and index locally. For inboxes which have few messages, this works fine. For inboxes with messages more than 10k , javamail imap connection gets dropped (possibly by server). This duration is also random.

Since I am continuously fetch message headers one after one there is a time where the connection is idle for a long time, so it can't be a timeout.

------------------------------CODE--------------------------------
IMAPSSLStore imapSslStore = connectToImap("imap.googlemail.com",
993,
email,
oauthToken,
oauthTokenSecret,
getMyConsumer(),
true);
System.out.println("Successfully authenticated to IMAP.\n");
Folder inbox = imapSslStore.getFolder("[Gmail]/All Mail");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

Message messages[] = inbox.getMessages();

for(Message message:messages) {
System.out.println(message);
System.out.println("MSG NO:"+message.getMessageNumber());
System.out.println("FROM:"+message.getFrom().toString());
}
-------------------------------CODE--------------------------------------------

I'm using the standalone version of javamail (1.4.3) I've struggling to fix this for a while now. Any help is appreciated.
