Yes I agree. Here's what I would like to do. a) make an mbox file mail repository for pop3 accounts (and whatever else), b) a file based spool repository basically combine the stream & object store repositories into a single file. While the pair file is nice, it's proven to be extra work, and it's not really that difficult to combine the data into a single file (and I don't see a big benefit out of separate files).
mbox would be great since it's interchangeable with other email programs, but as a single file, it seriously limits the scalability of a spool being accessed by multiple threads, hence the need for a separate multi-file spool repository. In the eyebrowse project on www.tigris.org, there's an mbox reader class, and they have a BSD style license. I can start from that and hopefully get something sooner rather than later. I'm not sure what other are standard formats worth implementing or if there is code we can start from...
