import javax.mail.Store;
import javax.mail.Message;

public class Mailread {

public static void main(String args[])
{

    Properties prop=new Properties();
    prop.put("mail.pop3.host","pop.gmail.com" );
    prop.put("mail.pop3.port","995");
    prop.put("mail.pop3.starttls.enable",true);

    Session session= Session.getDefaultInstance(prop);
    try
    {
    Store store=session.getStore("pop3s");
    store.connect("pop.gmail.com","myusername@gmail.com","password");
    Folder folder=store.getFolder("INBOX");
    folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
    Message message=folder.getMessage(3);
    System.out.println(message.getMessageNumber());
    System.out.println(message.getFrom());



    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
     e.printStackTrace();
     System.exit(0);

    }

  }

You need to use Authneticator while connecting to gmail.

The below code should work for you

// Setup authentication, get session
Session emailSession = Session.getInstance(properties,
     new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
           return new PasswordAuthentication(
              "manisha@gmail.com", "manisha123");
        }
     });

Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "*************@gmail.com","your_password");

Folder inbox = store.getFolder("inbox");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
int messageCount = inbox.getMessageCount();

System.out.println("Total Messages:- " + messageCount);

Message[] messages = inbox.getMessages();
System.out.println("------------------------------");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   System.out.println("Mail Subject:- " + messages[i].getSubject());      
}

Please let me know if any further information is required.
