mail app
Hi,
I am new to designing mailing app. My doubt is will there
be any database server between mail server and client to store mails. I
got this doubt because when I run my app it starts downloading mails
from server each time a request is sent to it as if thunderbird thus
while configuring for first time. Please reply soon.

The default and most common way to download mail from a server to a
client is POP3 protocol. You can read more and find links to diagrams
and documentation on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol
JAMES Server also supports the IMAP protocol, but this is experimental
and not available in released packages yet, so if you are not a java
developer this is not an option.
IMAP protocol supports storage and organization of mails in the server
instead of the client.

Hi,
Suppose you open yahoo mail, all the existing mails will be
displayed and newmails will also be displayed. But in my case instead of
displaying mails it first downloads all the mails from the server and
then displays each time i refresh the page. Is this the actual process
or is there something different. If possible please send me mail server
architecture.

Sorry, but I don't understand the question.
The database server "MAY" be configured as a backend for the server
(what do you mean with "between" the server and client ??).
Are you asking how POP3 and SMTP protocols works or how JAMES does
implement them? Do you know what are POP3 and SMTP?
