//Remember to add the properties in above code.

 this.properties = new Properties();
            this.properties.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "mstor");
            this.properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.metadataStrategy", "none");
            this.properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.cacheBuffers", "disabled");
            this.properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.bufferStrategy", "mapped");
            this.properties.setProperty("mstor.metadata", "disabled");
            this.properties.setProperty("mstor.mozillaCompatibility", "enbled")

An example url for accessing an mstor mailbox might be:

mstor:c:/mail on a Microsoft Windows machine

Reading messages from a local store:

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(new Properties());

Store store = session.getStore(new URLName("mstor:c:/mailbox/MyStore"));
store.connect();

// read messages from Inbox..
Folder inbox = store.getDefaultFolder().getFolder("Inbox");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

Message[] messages = inbox.getMessages();
