James IMAP support

[Mark Livingstone <ml...@iprimus.com.au>]

Hi Guys,

I have been lurking for a while. I am a documentation / beta tester 
person for Mahogany and columba mail clients on Sourceforge and I need 
a local IMAP server. If someone is working on it, I would be willing 
to help beta test it.

Since at Uni next semester I am going to begin Java programming, I 
would like a Java IMAP server.

Could you tell me just how useful is the IMAP support at present. I 
just need something I can get mail from my ISP's POP server and access 
locally via IMAP. At present I do not have domain although that might 
come if I get broadband at a later stage.

Thanks,

MarkL

Getting IMAP to production quality is far enough away that it will not 
get there by individual contributions, and will require probably one 
champion to get it to a usable state.  At this point, the people who 
have championed IMAP impl's are busy, so no guarantees it will be ready 
in time to meet your requirements.

I've tried roadmap documents and old messages from the past few months 
but they don't say much about it's future plans. I know everyone is 
working hard to get the present RC out in its final form but are there 
any plans mooted for working on IMAP in the near future? (say 0-6 
month time frame)?

I just need to know so I can plan for the immediate future 
requirements I have and plan to help out with James in the future.

Thanks!

AFAIK, IMAP only has a memory-resident mailboxes, so basically the 
protocol is done but storage isn't ready yet.
