Description

Tryng to use the java mail api in establishing an imap connection results in an NPE.

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("mail.store.protocol", "imap");  // imaps does the same
p.put("mail.host", "");
Session ss = Session.getInstance(p);
Store s = ss.getStore();
s.connect(user, pass); // Here we get the NPE

Using the same code with the sun/oracle implementation is successful.
