CodePudding user response：

The problem is here:

.maxFetchSize(1)

By default the AbstractMailReceiver tries to fetch all the messages from the mail box. And looks like it takes a lot of time.

Another problem that with the .headerMapper(mailHeaderMapper() a Mail.pop3InboundAdapter does not produce a Message but rather byte[]. So, your .handle((payload, header) -> logMail(payload)) not only bad by the request-reply definition in the end of flow, but also fails with ClassCast like this, because you expect the type which is not produced for you:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class [B cannot be cast to class org.springframework.messaging.Message ([B is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; org.springframework.messaging.Message is in unnamed module of loader 'app')

Well, no: better to say you are missing the fact that this signature .handle((payload, header) -> logMail(payload)) deals with the payload not the whole message. So, your expectations in the logMail() are wrong. It has to be byte[]. And consider to have a one-way handler over there in the end of flow anyway.

UPDATE

The working code is like this:

@Log4j2
@Configuration
@EnableIntegration
public class EmailReceiver {

    @Autowired
    private PollableChannel pop3Channel;

    private MailReceiver receiver;


    @Bean
    public PollableChannel receivedChannel() {
        return new QueueChannel();
    }


    @Bean
    public IntegrationFlow pop3MailFlow() {
        return IntegrationFlows
                .from(Mail.pop3InboundAdapter("pop.gmail.com", 995, "userName", "password")
                                .javaMailProperties(p -> {
                                    p.put("mail.debug", "false");
                                    p.put("mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
                                    p.put("mail.pop3.port", 995);
                                    p.put("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
                                    p.put("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", 995);
                                })
                                .maxFetchSize(1)
                                .headerMapper(mailHeaderMapper()),
                        e -> e.poller(Pollers.fixedRate(5000).maxMessagesPerPoll(1)))
                .handle(this, "logMail")
                .get();
    }


    public void logMail(String payload) {
        log.info("*******Email[TEST]********* \n"   payload);
    }

    @Bean
    public HeaderMapper<MimeMessage> mailHeaderMapper() {
        return new DefaultMailHeaderMapper();
    }
