[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3216?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
David Leangen updated JAMES-3216:
---------------------------------
Summary: Make James Basic Server easier to use (was: Make James Local Server easier to use)
> Make James Basic Server easier to use
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-3216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3216
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Leangen
> Priority: Major
>
> The "James Local Server" is currently described as:
> ----
> h2. James Local Mail Server
> If you are not sure which server you should be using, then you probably ought to be using the [*Local Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html]. This server uses the local file system to store emails, which tends to considerably simplify the system. To safeguard your emails, you only need a simple generic backup solution that works with a data volume.
> This server is intended to be the simplest to set up and use in production. It has the least amount of dependencies and complexities. If you do not yet have a huge amount of emails to process, then usually the simplicity is well worth the loss of some functionality. The last thing you need is to have to resolve difficult issues on a production server when you have not yet acquired the requisite knowledge to deal with those issues. Using the [*Local Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html] will help you reduce the risk of running into production issues.
> This server is:
> * Suggested for use with smaller deployments
> * Appropriate for use by most operators
> * The preferred choice for most installations
> * Endowed with fewer dependencies, which makes it simpler and less risky to use in production
> * Only dependent on your local file system for data storage, so very easy to manage
> ----
>
> This server is currently difficult to set up and use.
> To make James more appealing to new users, installation should be simplified. When input or configuration is required by users, it should be minimized and well documented.
>
> Note: I am working on this issue with the help of the community, but for some reason I am not able to assign the issue to myself.
