Maildir support?
I googled and found a maildir support patch for James mentioning something
about version 3.0.. however that seems to be a long ways out, is maildir
support added in 2.3?
Thanks,
David

I don't know how locking is managed by Courier, but once locking issues
have been solved it should be possible.

Maildir itself is perfectly suited to be accessed by multiple
applications simultaneously because it does not use any locking.
Javamaildir has the limitation that only one instance (of Javamaildir or
James using Javamaildir) is allowed to access its ".uidvalidity" file.
AFAIK courier and other applications use different file-names so it is
no problem. (In my courier Maildir folder those file-names all start
with courier*)
Conclusion: Yes. :-)
A native James Maildir implementation could even be accessed by multiple
instances of James, because at the moment there is no need to store any
uid information.

One of my needs to run James in production use is an IMAP server.. if James
supports maildir would it be possible to run courier or some other service
as an IMAP server over the same data?

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-461, Norman just mentioned,
is a wrapper for JavaMail based stores. It is intended to work with
javamaildir, a Maildir implementation for JavaMail. At the moment there
are a few compatibility issues, and there should be a suitable
javamaildir release soon. (For the brave: everything needed is on my
SVN)
This solution still has to proof whether it is suitable for productive
use.
A native Maildir implementation for James won't be too complicated. If
somebody would volunteer and do the coding and testing, I would support
and share my knowledge.
