Oops, I thought, you wanted it only in the lexer. In your case you need both

@lexer::members {
          myClass mine = new myClass();

	public myClass getMyClass() {
		return mine;
	}
      }

and

@members {
          myClass mine;

	public void setMyClass(myClass mine) {
		this.mine = mine;
	}
      }

Use some glue code like

parser.setMyClass(lexer.getMyClass());

In any case, the parser doesn't influence the lexer, as the lexing phase
is completely separate from the parsing phase at this point.

Actually, the new email should be created only at the start of a new
thread, but let's now use this email thread.
