questions about mail file system repository
I want to save some special email to my own repository. To do that, I use
ToRepository mailet. It works great. The problem is that how could I retrive
it through repository. I checked source code, when it saves mail to file
system, it dose not return the key so that I can get that. Also, how could I
get that repository object from other java class such as monitor class that
I wrote myself.
Thanks a lot

Look at the RemoteDelivery sourcecode.
It uses a spoolrepository option to avoid to retry mails that have
temporary errors until a given time.
You probably want to do something similar, but starting from an "error"
scenario and having a 24 hour retry time.
The easy way is to start your watching thread from a mailet: create your
own extension of ToRepository and in the init start a new thread using
the same repository (RemoteDelivery does a similar thing with the
outgoing spool repository and the ougoing spool threads).
The "cool" (perhaps "hard") way is to create your own avalon component.
Just look at the FetchScheduler component. It has to implement an
interface, and you also need to write an .xinfo file describing
dependencies. As a dependency you should put the "Store" object (look at
the default assembly.xml and default .xinfo files to understand how
dependencies are declared).
From the store you can obtain a MAIL or SPOOL repository using the
destinationUrl. Once you have the mail repository you can get a Mail by
its name or you can also list Mail keys (names) for the retrieved
repository.
If your repository is a spool repository you can also use the
accept()/accept(time) methods.
If you use James 2.3.0a1 you can check MailStoreSpoolRepository.java
sources and the MailStoreSpoolRepository.xinfo file.
In the assembly.xml I added this:
<!-- The main SpoolRepository -->
<block name="spoolrepository"
class="org.apache.james.mailrepository.MailStoreSpoolRepository" >
<provide name="mailstore"
role="org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.services.store.Store" />
</block>
In the config.xml I added this:
<spoolrepository destinationURL="dbfile://maildb/spool/spool"
type="SPOOL"/>
So, here is what you should do:
Add to assembly.xml:
<block name="myrepository"
class="org.apache.james.mailrepository.MailStoreSpoolRepository" >
<provide name="mailstore"
role="org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.services.store.Store" />
</block>
And to config.xml:
<myrepository destinationURL="db://maildb/inbox/myrepos"
type="MAIL"/> (or SPOOL if the repos is a spool)
Then create your own component that depend on the new repository.
Add this to assembly:
<!-- The James Spool Manager block -->
<block name="mymanager" class="org.apache.james.test.MyManager" >
<provide name="myrepository"
role="org.apache.james.services.SpoolRepository"/>
</block>
Then you create your MyManager.xinfo file (look at the
JamesSpoolManager.xinfo file as an example) and the MyManager.java (look
at the JamesSpoolManager.java)

For all emails that from special users, I need to forward these email out
after delay time. For example, I got one email in , and forward it out after
24 hours. I do not want mailets to be held so long time. So, I saved mail to
a folder. I have another thread to check the folder to see if there are
emails that are there longer than 24 hours. I just want to get repository
that is used in ToRepository Mailets and retrive the mail through it.
Thanks a lot.

Can you explain what is your goal?
What is the "other java class such as monitor"? Is it in a mailet? Is it
inside james/phoenix ? Is it in the same JVM?
