I used javax.mail to get Emails. I'm able to fetch email details like attachments, cc, bcc, from, to, text, subject. The issue I'm facing is It is getting only that email not all the messages in that email. Let suppose A sent email to B and B replied back to A. Then again replied to B. Now if I'm login with A's profile and I fetch INBOX folder of A. I get this email and when I check message.content() of that email It shows only reply of B. I want to get content of first message and third message sent by A as both of the messages belong to this thread.
IIRC conversation threads are implementation dependent cause it's not enforced nor covered in the IMAP RFC. There are some servers like gmail that lets you configure those settings. In your case it might be possible to read a specific message and then performing other IMAP verbs to retrieve the rest of the thread.

How do I read the original subject of the kick back email received from the mail delivery system.
I am doing it this way: messageSubject = message.getSubject(); which actually returns the wrong one i.e ”Delivery status notification” (this one I can see under subject of view message details of kick back email).
It is normal for a "bounce" email that you get in response to an email that cannot be delivered to have a different subject to the email that you sent. The original email may be included as an attachment to the notification.
The responses that you get in this scenario are not standardized and vary from one mail server (MTA) to another. If you are going to process them automatically, you will need to understand the structure of the responses you are getting from your MTA and potentially the remote MTA that are bouncing the emails.
You should probably start by looking at the bounce emails in your email to get an idea of their structure.
I'm using the following code to create and send an email to someTo#bla.com:
Message msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("someone#bla.com", "From Me"));
And when I receive the mail I see (in outlook, for example) : From Me <someone#bla.com>
Is it possible to hide the email address? I would like to see the full email address only when the receiver hits "Replay" but not before.
No, there is no way to hide the address of the sender when you (your program) is the sender. Some email clients may have the ability to do that, but in general it is probably a bad practice because it makes it harder to tell who sent the email, making it easier for spamers and phishers.
One way you could hide your email address would be to use a proxy service that sends and receives emails on your behalf and acts as a simple forwarding proxy (this is what craigslist does), but that starts to drift into the real of sketchy practices.
Short answer is no. That is a configuration option usually on the users mail client. It is there to help users avoid PHISHING scams and other unscrupulous email attacks.
I tried to send emails with Amazon SES, with the Java AWS SDK, and it worked. I would like to be able to check (at a later time) whether the delivery was successful. I will define it successful if the final mailserver accepted the mail for delivery.
I saw that when you send an email you can get a messageId that uniquely identifies your email:
SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest(from, destination, message);
SendEmailResult result = service.sendEmail(request);
String messageId = result.getMessageId();
However I saw that you can get only aggregated statistics, for example with SendDataPoint (Represents sending statistics data. Each SendDataPoint contains statistics for a 15-minute period of sending activity).
I'm not using SES to send bulk emails, but personalized notifications on a very low volume and I'd be interested to check every single message.
Did I overlook something? Is it possible to do this type of check with SES?
Amazon does provide a mechanism for you to capture bounces, which provides you with contrapositive verification.
You can create a mailbox to receive bounce notifications, then tell SES to forward bounce notifications there. e.g.:
request.setReturnPath("bounces#example.com");
You can then write code to periodically check that mailbox, and parse the messages for the destination email address.
Amazon provides a brief explanation of how they handle bounces & complaints here:
http://aws.amazon.com/ses/faqs/#37
However, if you want to check if the message avoided the spam filter or was read by the end user, that is beyond the scope of SES (although they work hard to ensure deliverability).
We use Bouncely.com. You simply set the ReturnPath to bounces#bouncely.com and it tracks all the bounces and spam reports. It also has an API that allows us to unsubscribe users automatically.
Use Amazon Simple Notification Service and define an HTTP endpoint to receive notification in case of email bounces. Works perfectly.
My web app using JMS to send mail via GMAIL as my SMTP server. I need to send out email to every people in my group (20 - 50 people), does GMAIL allow to send this many email in short amount of time? And if so, can I get around with either sending one email with multiple addesses or sending multiple email with one address.
Think about this:
If you send one email, the mail server does the work sending a copy to each recipient.
If you send 20 emails, your code does all the work, sending 20 copies over the network to the email server.
You may want to use bcc: for the recipients if you don't want every recipient to see the address of every other.
The only reason you would want to send multiple messages is if you want to customize the message, such as
Hello <username>
blah blah blah
Hi
I have to send am mail(like an notification) to all the persons who fulfill some criteria.
The mail id will be taken from the database and sent the mail
Where should I look for the implementation in JAVA so that I can sent the a mail to many person.
Thanks
Have a look at the javax.mail Package
Links:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Message.html#addRecipient%28javax.mail.Message.RecipientType,%20javax.mail.Address%29
And as Message.RecipientType you should use Message.RecipientType.BCC to not showing the every address to every recipient

This is how to send email using Java: http://www.javabeat.net/tips/33-sending-mail-from-java.html
To send email to many addresses, just send the same email with different 'to' address
There are several ways to go about this. Assuming you know how to query the database to get the mail and recipients and how to actually send (a single) mail - it's really up to preferences.
Personally I prefer to simply put all recipients in "the BCC-field" and then actually send the mail to a dummy address or my own. That way none of the recipients will be disclosed to the others. If that is not an issue - just put 'em all in the "To-field".
(if in fact querying database and sending mail is the real issue - I'm sure there are quite a few references on this site)
The Apache Commons Email library in an excellent Java API for sending Email. You can use the approach taken by #mbanzon to send the list by adding Bcc fields.
