Aspose.Email Java and IPv6

Aspose.Email Product Family

Is using Aspose.Email Java in an IPv6 server supported?

Both IMAP and POP3 are having issues connecting to a mail server (GMail for testing) when the server is forced to use IPv6.

Pop3Client pop3Client = new Pop3Client(host, port, username, password);
pop3Client.setSecurityOptions(SecurityOptions.SSLImplicit);

int iMessageCount = pop3Client.getMessageCount();

pop3Client.getMessageCount();

This call will throw the exception when IPv6 is being used. (using this java argument Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true )

The exception is this:

AsposeException: java.lang.NullPointerException

@matthewanselmo,

I have observed the issue shared by you. Can you please confirm if using IPv4 things are fine for IMAP or POP3 clients? Can you please try using latest Aspose.Email for Java 19.8 as well on your end.

When I remove this flag, Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true, the code performs as expected.
This was tested with the latest version available to download, 19.7. I do not see a 19.8 version.
