Answer 1

You can do that using java mail. You will need to find the configuration details but a standard code snippet for this would be something like below. I copied the code snipped from here. Thos official javamail link has a pretty decent set of examples (ie. how to read attachments).

For storing the email as a file to a folder, you can apache FileUtils. Write the email to a file and copy it to a folder that you desire.
