So James is an open Java based mail server... all RDBMS backend through jdbc so pretty much any db server. Unfortunately, NO IMAP Server. Some dev has been done on IMAP, but it hasn't had any progress for years. This is what first lead me to find DBMail. Mostly because I saw all the advantages of RDBMS backend but James had no IMAP. At one point I thought of integration between the two rather than using Postfix. This would loose the advantages of pure-java but could still use a common backend and Java for mailet functionality in place of sieve and other. This would also give me the advantage of a pure java api if there was a java api to dbmail. ---- James Features ---- RDBMS mailboxes/spool (stable) RDBMS - Users (stable) LDAP Support - Users (experimental) SMTP server (stable) Mailet Engine (stable) POP3 server (stable) 100% Pure Java http://james.apache.org/ Kevin
