We have two successful 2nd year students (Mahmut and Ertuğrul) who went to an average American University (California State University, San Bernardino, Computer Science Department) for this spring semester with the student exchange program. They will come back after this semester.

They are taking these courses: Programming Languages, Computer Organization, File Systems, Differential Equations.

The e-mail of the week (from Emir Mahmut Bahşi) :

" ... Dersler hocam bayağı zor. Her hafta istisnasız 7 ödevimiz var. 3'ü matematik. 2'si Machine Org. 2'si Prog. Lang. Dersleri genel itibariyle anlıyoruz.Bir de burda çok fazla okuma ödevi veriyorlar. Hele bir hocanın ders işleme stili çok farklı. Önce işleyeceği konuyu herkese okutturuyor, derste öğrencileri gruplara bölüyor sonra soruları tartışıp cevaplamamızı istiyor. Herkes böylece kitabı okumuş oluyor çünkü okumayan kişi hiç tartışamadığı için bir iki gün okumuyor sonra mecburen okumaya başlıyor (bizim gibi :) )  ..."

Some lessons taken from the e-mail:
- Students who are in an American-like university, normally take 4-5 core (department) courses in a semester.
- They regularly get hw assignments from their courses each week.
- They don't generate excuses for homework assignments and midterm exams to their instructors.
- They don't complain about their weekly homework assignments.
- They don't even try to think about postponing deadlines of their homework assignments and projects and exam dates.
- They usually know how to work for an individual assignment and team-work project. They usually don't copy from others in  individual assignments and do a good team work in a team project.
- They usually follow lectures in a regular basis.
- They try not to miss a lecture for the sake of doing or submitting a homework assignment or a project, or studying another course for an exam.
- ...

Here is your assignment:

Java MailClient: Design of SMTP and POP3 Clients using TCP Sockets
 
In this programming assignment your will design a Java MailClient which talks to a SMTP Server and a POP3 Server. That is the user of your program should be able to send and receive e-mails. For the SMTP Client part, look at Assignment 2 given on page 180. You will develop a similar GUI as given on page 181. For the POP3 Client part, the simplest GUI for listing received e-mails may be a JTable component having From, Subject and Date columns. You can get some ideas from MS Outlook program.

The formats and detailed definitions of SMTP and POP3 messages are given in their RFC documents. You can also look at other Internet resources.

You will use Java TCP sockets (Socket Class) in this assignment. The JavaMail API can not be used. The main purpose of this assignment is to teach how to talk to a server having a well defined a protocol. Specially you will learn SMTP and POP3 protocols.

In your GUI there will be a debug button, when clicked it will open a debug window, and show the SMTP and POP3 messages.

Use JBuilder 9/10 to write your Java MailClient.

If you have 3 members in your group, one may work on the SMTP Client part, the other may work on the POP3 Client, the last member may design GUI components of the assignment. Pay attention to the division of labor at the beginning, otherwise you can not finish the assignment on time.

The completeness, correctness, coding style and documentation are the main points for grading your programming assignments.

It is due on 22 March 2004, Monday, until 5 pm.

This is a 2-member group assignment! If you do this assignment by yourself as an individual work, you may get extra 10 points if you do a good job!
