Hello,

This is my first post to this list and possibly not my last. I work on Nuxeo 
for Revolution Linux with Patrick Turcotte. I'm currently working on a 
proof-of-concept IMAP server running inside Nuxeo. It is still early in the 
development but I've made some user-visible progress. I can connect to the 
server using an IMAP client and see a folder list.

I'm at the point where I need to list the content of a Nuxeo folder as IMAP 
messages. For this, I need to obtain an unique integer identifier for messages 
in a folder. I cannot use an hash or the document UUID because, for proper 
synchronisation, identifiers need to be ascending. (See RFC 3501 section 
2.3.1.1)

So, I somehow need to decorate Nuxeo document with an additional value which is 
maintained by my IMAP server service. Because I don't know how to add and store 
metadata to document, I have only vague idea on how I can integrate that inside 
Nuxeo. I understand that, once I have a way to store the identifier with the 
document, I will be able to correctly maintain the identifiers using the event 
service and that I can also use an type adapter to help me access the IMAP 
identifiers of a document.

As far as I understand, creating a new document type is out of the question 
because my solution needs to apply to existing documents, of any type, 
currently stored in a Nuxeo server.

I am open to any suggestions that you think might be of any help to me.
