As far as Maildir goes, there isn't, from what I can tell.

So what are we saying here

1. We have two interfaces for mail stores.

2. We could retain/enhance the MailRepository interface and write an
implementation which wraps around
JavaMail stores? This would give us access to "special stores" and JavaMail
stores but JM stores would not persist the message meta-data and we would
not be adopting a new standard interface.

3. We extend the JavaMail Folder interface to add support for our Mail
objects, but I am not sure how clean this is..

How important is the requirement to persist the message meta-data to disk
once processing is over?
