[NEWBIE]Getting a MailServer reference
Hi,
from within a Mailet, how could I get a reference to a MailServer object?
Regards,
Marco

Nope. All depends upon participation.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. Do you know where the new
version will be operative?

Yes Danny I saw that method, but I was wondering what the formal parameter
should contain.

Not that soon though.
Although you have kindly proposed this I don't see *anyone* stepping up to
actually do the work...
In the meantime James v3 provides MailetContext.getMailRepository(String
URI)

I know. I've been a bit occupied with James v2. But at this point, my
plans for James v2 are:
1. Release v2.1.3 (next week?)
2. Release v2.2.0
- Remaining practical bugfixes (low hanging fruit)
- your classloader changes (any ETA?)
- DNSJava changes (from HEAD)
- Mail Attributes (from Søren Hilmer)
- Official Avalon packaging
and then to start work on James v3. In the latter area, there are several
areas:
1. JNDI/LDAP
2. Spooler
3. JavaMail
that I have an interest in. My current thought was to start with the
spooler, but perhaps we could start with JNDI.

I thought I had mentioned that, although without the API detail. But it was
late, so maybe I goofed.

The way to do it in James v2 is to accesss the underlying Avalon platform,
as shown in a couple of mailets. Basically, you need to do something like
this:
ComponentManager compMgr =
(ComponentManager)getMailetContext().getAttribute(Constants.AVALON_COMPONENT
_MANAGER);
MailServer mailServer = (MailServer) compMgr.lookup(MailServer.ROLE);
This will change in the future, where you will likely use JNDI to lookup
information related to the user. That approach will also allow you to store
the quota as an attribute of the user's JNDI entry.

Yes, but in order to get user inbox shouldn't I use a method like:
MailServer.getUserInbox(user); ?

You don't. You get the MailetContext.
