ioexception without a message

[Ronald Klop]

Hi,

I just downloaded the source of javamail to figure out what this exception means. The cause is quite clear from the code, because read() == -1 is an unexpectected EOF in this case.

Caused by: java.io.IOException
at com.sun.mail.iap.ResponseInputStream.read0(ResponseInputStream.java:99)
at com.sun.mail.iap.ResponseInputStream.readResponse(ResponseInputStream.java:67)
at com.sun.mail.iap.Response.<init>(Response.java:83)

at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:446)

The exception happens to me if I hit the MAXPERIP connection limit of courier-imap.

Is it possible to add a message to the exception like 'Server closed connection unexpectedly.'?

Yes, I'll do that.

Thanks for the suggestion.
