RE: imap in JAMES

[Sascha Kulawik <sa...@kulawik.de>]

Hai Nathan !

I'm still interested in the furthe development of James-IMAP. Currently
I've a lot to do in my all-day-work - so I have no time for the
development of james until November. 
It would be really great, if we could work together on James-IMAP. The
current Version in CVS is the newest - so you can start off :)
If you have any questions, ask me. I know the code :)
I think, at the end of the Month I can help you - then I also want to do
more for James. (But currently I'm coding about 14h/day for my job, so
there is really NO time for doing anything for James.)
If youve readed something in the Mailinglist, you also can see, that I
have a lot of todos for IMAP. It would be great, if you can first find
all remaining Bugs with Mozilla and Outlook.
After that I'd like to see the persistent storage inside a JDBC Source -
but first of all it would be needed, to change the serialisation. 
My Idea is to use JDOM for "serialization" of the Data-Objects and store
them as XML Files, after that it is an easy step for storing them in a
Database in a structured form.
Also there are some bugs, that if your Mailbox "hangsup", you cant
restore the remaining Mails, bbecause they are all serialized Objects.
If you have XML Files for that, it would also be an easy step to find
the errors and change them inside the XML File, without loosing your
mails.
It would also needed to move the CommandFetch and CommandStore in the
package, where all Commands resists. This is remaining from the history.

Greetings,

Sascha
