Stand-alone Mail API in Blackberry

Does anyone know of a stand-alone Mail API that works well with Blackberry? We're developing a client for a service that uses IMAP as a backend, but is not an IMAP Mail server.

JavaMail has everything that is needed but doesn't play nice with Blackberry's JRE. What I mean by this is that the method of connecting in javamail is Session.getInstance(Properties) and the Blackberry JRE doesn't have Properties.

Apache's Email doesn't work because I need to be able to both receive and send messages.

While blackberry does provide a javamail hack in it's system, it's not something that was maent to be used like this.

Are there any open alternatives?
