I believe that JavaMail is, but javamail is not.

Legal issues notwithstanding, my concern is people seeing this package, getting excited about an ASF JavaMail, and then wondering why it's just these weird util classes they don't understand.
But if its a worry, how about .jmail (if that's not a TM too)?
What about .mail? :)
Actually I like o.a.james.util. We already have it, and there are classes in there like InternetPrintWriter and dot stuffing that could be useful to others.
To begin with org.apache.james means a) it's Java, b) it's email related [c) reuse friendly-open source], etc... IMHO these are just isolated utility classes that are tough to classify.

In my view these are specializations/extensions of JavaMail types with no mail server specific code. In fact, in the case of the MIME support, a Java mail client would use the same classes.
True.
Perhaps we want to move this discussion back to general? It seems like we don't have a consensus!
Dev is as good as any I figure.
