[jira] Created: (MAILET-26) Mailet API documentation/contract needs overhaul

Mailet API documentation/contract needs overhaul
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAILET-26
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILET-26
             Project: Mailet
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Amichai Rothman


There are lots of issues with the Mailet API documentation, from trivial typos to entire methods whose contract is unclear. Also missing is a clear overview of how the various components interact and how a Mailet container must use them. I went over the entire package's javadocs and fixed them up, occasionally consulting the James implementation to try and decipher what the method contracts were intended to be.

I'll upload a preliminary patch, and following further discussion and clarifications in the mailing list, I hope we can reach a clear, comprehensive and unambiguous API.
