System.out.println("-------------" + (a + 1) + "-----------");
System.out.println(message[a].getSentDate());

Multipart multipart = (Multipart) message[a].getContent();
//System.out.println(multipart.getCount());

for (int i = 0; i < multipart.getCount(); i++) {
//System.out.println(i);
//System.out.println(multipart.getContentType());
BodyPart bodyPart = multipart.getBodyPart(i);
InputStream stream = bodyPart.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));

while (br.ready()) {
