Hey Guys, Just wondering what is happening with the new Fetch[Message|Mail|Whatever] service. I was under the impression that it was coming soon, and included Sergei's changes, so I didn't merge Sergei's patch to FetchPOP.
As you've likely seen on the mailing list, discussion seems to be converging on using JavaMail for message stores, so between the fetcher, IMAP and the message stores, we should be seeing a lot more use of JavaMail in James. I just wrote an e-mail to Chris Burdess asking about his JavaMail providers. So if this thing is reasonable stable, I'd like to see about getting it into HEAD. People who need the really stable tested code should be living out of the v2.1 branch, anyway, right now. By the way, please take a look at this message on james-user@ from Sami Siren, who packaged a fetch for DAV mail: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED] e.org&msgId=548521 Seems to me that you'd want to subsume that code and config into the general fetcher service. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Leo D'Angelo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 12:24 To: James Developers List Subject: Re: [Proposal] FetchPOP --> Fetch Hi All, I am happy to move the new version to proposals (and provide instructions). Is was planning on doing something similar to the imap/imap2 implementation in proposals (with docs). Would this be acceptable? I have tried Yahoo (works fine), a couple of third party POP implementations (the javamail one does not allow the SEEN flag to be set) as well as mbox... All these seemed to work fine... Extensive testing needs to be done on this module but the basics *seem* to work... I was also thinking about FetchMail. The one thing that tripped me up is that there is an nntp transport available... I thought someone could use this as a "news feeder" as well... Any thoughts? -LeoD On 1/20/03 8:06 AM, "Noel J.
