What are the options for starting a method in Java app when I receive a new mail in MS Exchange? Is there some kind of web service for this? Or can I get it from the Outlook folder? Or should I use Java Mail like this - checking inbox folder every few seconds:

Properties props = System.getProperties();
 props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "imaps"); 
 Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
 Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
 store.connect("<impap_address>","<mail ID> ", "<Password>");

 inbox = store.getFolder("Inbox");
 System.out.println("No of Unread Messages : " + inbox.getUnreadMessageCount());
 inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

 /*  Get the messages which is unread in the Inbox*/
 Message messages[] = inbox.search(new FlagTerm(new Flags(Flag.SEEN), false));

This one looks the most natural to me but IMAP is not currently activated on the company Exchange server and I would like to find some other way to solve this.

And are there other options?

Look for Java APIs called JWebDAV and JWebServices for Exchange. It is Java implementation of WebDAV and EWS protocol.

Exchange has webservices but as a .Net developer I have only used it using the official SDK which is a wrapper over the webservices. Exchange 2003 and 2007 has a webdav interface but it has been removed in 2010. Both the methods should be agnostic of client technology used but I have no first hand experience of using it from Java.
