Java vs C# ?

[testuser.demouser]

This may sound a very basic question but I am new to hMailserver and planning to write an application which will download the attachment(s) of the email and save it to a folder. I read the documentation to find out that the COM API is exposed via Interop.hMailServer.dll. I also read some posts which talk about consuming this api via Java as well as C#. I need a suggestion to choose a language for my application. My preference is Java but I am not sure if there would be some compatibility issues going forward (as it's a COM API). Can somebody confirm this and help me make an informed decision on choosing the right language ?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestion.

saving an attachment is easy and has been done heaps with VBS

search the script section - there are heaps

The right language is C#. Java is slow and given the server is written in .net, it only makes sense to use a language that it's already written in.

The Server is written in C/C++ (unmanaged/native)

Only the Client tools like hMailAdmin and DBSetup are written in C# (targeting old .NET 2.0).

And... The explanation if you don't get it...

C# does garbage collection simply and efficiently, Java does it in a much more complicated and more automated way, and C++ just.... doesn’t.

That's funny. Little greta does it in a $4 million yacht. One bit of flotsam at a time.
