My problem having it as a mailbox is that, there can be huge volume of items (ranging upto ten thousands of items) coming from another application whereas the end user may be interested only in a few of them. So, the end-user would like to see only subscribed items as mailboxes and not others.
Hence, my intent is to have the item as a mailbox until the user is subscribed to it. Right now, I'm trying to tweak the store Mailbox and subscription managers to create mailboxes but store them in underlying storage(using InMemory storage) only when the user subscribes to it. Would this be the right way to go? Regards ------------------------------------ Jentu Jain | Datacert, Inc. Why are major companies rapidly migrating to Passport?

You could simply hack the (Un)SubscribeProcess and implement there some specific changes in doProcessRequest to change the value of the new Mailbox.isItem. Or if you want to decouple things, something like: - add an attribute 'isItem' on the mailbox model. - define a MailboxSubscriptionEvent and MailboxUnsubscriptionEvent - let the SubscribeProcessor generate a MailboxSubscriptionEvent - let the UnsubscribeProcessor generate a MailboxUnsubscriptionEvent - implement more machinery for a SubscriptionListener*, such as the MailboxListener. - implement the logic in the SubscriptionListener to create/delete upon Now if you want an Item to be completely different of a Mailbox, you need to implement an additional data model, and impact many other stuff on mailbox/imap levels. thx, Eric On 16/02/12 12:53, Jentu Jain wrote: > The item turns into a mailbox only after the end-user subscribes until that > it's just a non-mailbox item. > > Regards > ------------------------------------ > Jentu Jain | Datacert, Inc. > > Why are major companies rapidly migrating to Passport?
