I have been subscribed to the james-dev mailing list for around a week now, and have seen no mention of plans for IMAP (impatient of me, I know). As I run my own mail server, and frequently wish to access mail from many different places, I would not consider using a server that didn't have IMAP, however, looking at the clean design of James (vs. the 'it works brilliantly' of the unix tools, shortly followed by the hell of configuring the damn thing), I would really *like* to use it...
Currently, the answer to the 'What about Imap?' question on the website reads:
IMAP development had been stalled, but has recently attracted new activity. IMAP support is scheduled for inclusion in James v3. In the meantime, there is experimental code in the repository. If you are interested in working on or trying the IMAP prototype code, join the james-dev mailing list and let us know.
Firstly, how up to date is this? I certainly couldn't find any imap related questions in the dev-archive (and if my browsing of the imap cvs tree is correct, there haven't been any commits for at least 3 months). If I have been remiss, I'd be silenced by a link referring to imap development and plans. If not, I'm interested to know why there are 2 imap source trees in the proposals directory (although as far as I can see only imap2 compiles against the cvs tree), and secondly about what plans you have for taking it forwards.
I am a JAVA developer, and feel it's about time I put something back into the OSS community (how original..) and was hoping that one of the more long standing members of the james community could give me a more detailed roadmap for IMAP development than 'Support by v3' :-) in order that I might be able to work against those plans.
Regards,
Max
