Re: Introduction and question re: JavaMail

[Alex Blewitt]

Good call. I suggest working with the o.a.g.mail.SMTPTransport class, 
though I think it is also desirable to have an AbstractTransport 
abstract superclass that you can descend from. If there's any common 
functionality that occurs, it can go in the AbstractTransport, which 
will make it easier to write other transports later.

I think that the code should live in the \modules\javamail\src\java, 
rather than \specs\javamail\src\java, because it's an Apache 
implementation.

Note that ATM the MimeMessage class doesn't work in its entirety, so it 
might be an idea to write a dummy class for testing initially.

There are other (larger) areas that need implementation as well; for

IMAPStore or POP3Store yet. Both of these could be done separately 
from
the API being completed (though you'd probably have to test with dummy
messages to start with).
I'm starting work on SMTPTransport. I assume I can reimplement as much 
as I
need of com.sun.mail, Should this class be
org.apache.geronimo.mail.SMTPTransport, or is there some existing 
package
structure I should adhere to?
