A couple of pointers that might help.

First put Javamail in debug mode:

props.put("mail.debug", "true");

where props is your Session props. This should
provide a level of detail in the connection process
that might show you how far you are getting.

Second, review the timeouts per the doc here.
Most are infinite, but a few are not:

Lastly repost your question to Sun's Javamail Forum here,
where there are a lot of highly experienced users of this API:

HTH,
