Hi Kwirirai, Nice to hear from someone from Zimbabwe, I have a friend who lives near Chegutu.
As I understand it James encodes the mail UID, which is generated by the programme used to create the mail, James uses JavaMail to create messages. I suspect that the specification for this UID will state the limits of uniqueness required, but I assume it will be something like "unique in the world" because mail moves from machine to machine. I believe that Mail clients rely on this UID and POP3's UIDL command in "leave messages on the server" functionality, to prevent mail being downloaded twice and so on. d. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kwirirai [mailto:kwiri@;ibsdev.africaonline.co.zw] > Sent: 21 October 2002 23:05 > To: 'James Developers List' > Subject: AvalonMailRepository key generation > > > > > Hi > Could you help me in figuring out how the keys for storing mail in > AvalonMailRepository are implemented .I have tried to follow the source > code but to no avail. > What I really want to know is how are the keys generated in such a way > that duplicates do not occur even if the server is shut down.I am just > trying to get a better > understanding of James storage. > > Kwirirai Nhakwi > > Harare, Zimbabwe > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:james-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:james-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
