I'm in the process of developing a web mail system that uses James. Rather
than use POP3 to pull mail out of James and into some other kind of
repository, I'm considering accessing it directly from James' "inbox" table
in mysql (via the James classes, of course) and modifying the
repository_name field value to specify which folder the message has been
moved to, if any. So instead of the repository_name value being, say,
"userjoe" for a message, it might be "userjoe/trash" after being moved into
a trash folder. This also allows mail to be read from the POP3 server and
the web interface at the same time, while stored in only one place.

When IMAP is finished, I'd like to use that, but until then, does anyone see
anything wrong with this method? General thoughts would be appreciated.

Also, if anyone has preliminary thoughts on how SQL storage will work to
support IMAP folders when that piece gets written, I might try and use
something closer to that.

Thanks,
Matt
