Hi,

I set my email client so that it leaves the messages on the server.
Recently, the messages grows up to 1157. Then, no message can be
retrieved; POP timeout. Telnetting to the server, issuing "user
username" <enter>, "pass thepassword" <enter>, list <enter>, creates
"connection timeout". My mail client says: "wrong password" (the
password is correct, of course).

This is unacceptable, I think. I use a PIII/128MB for the James mail
server, and another PIII for the MySQL server. So I believe that CPU
power is not the issue (users in both machines are no more than 300,
mostly running Squid; which is light in CPU power consumption). I'm
wondering whether any of you are also experiencing this. If you are,
then I think we need a better implementation of POP protocol in James,
or have an implementation of another protocol; would IMAP make it
possible?

BTW, having the email repositories on databases would make
implementation of web-based email clients easier; all you need is to
have JDBC connections to the databases and have the content of the
repositories displayed on the browser (no need to implement this or that
protocols; JDBC and some neat display of messages would be sufficient).
And also, implementations of mail filter would be trivial; some select's
on the message_name and update's on the repository_name is all you need.
A Turbine-based email client (server?) would be nice, I think. Turbine
has an implementation of cron. It would fit for running the mail
filters.

Hmm... I hear a song sung in the background of my head... "Just my
imagination... running away..."

Oki
