Serge et al,
The Maildir repository implementation appears to be one class. This class
uses a MaildirMessage class (of a type new MailImpl(MaildirMessage) accepts
- only got the binary ATM). This is used purely to load all message info
from a File. (Due to Maildir having info in filenames). The main guts of it
is here:
private final MaildirMessage getMessageFromInbox(String key, Folder
inbox) throws MessagingException {
int messageNum = ((Integer)
uniqToMessageNumber.get(key)).intValue();
MaildirMessage mm = (MaildirMessage) inbox.getMessage(messageNum);
String uniq = mm.getMaildirFilename().getUniq();
if (!uniq.equals(key))
throw new RuntimeException("uniqToMessageNumber is inconsistent.
'" + uniq + "' != '" + key + "'");
return mm;
}
And also in the list() method here:
Folder inbox = openInbox();
try {
Message mm[] = inbox.getMessages();
if (mm == null)
throw new RuntimeException("inbox.getMessages returned
null");
uniqToMessageNumber = new Hashtable();
for (int i = 0; i < mm.length; i++) {
MaildirMessage maildirMessage = (MaildirMessage) mm[i];
Integer messageNumber = new
Integer(maildirMessage.getMessageNumber());
String uniq = maildirMessage.getMaildirFilename().getUniq();
uniqToMessageNumber.put(uniq, messageNumber);
}
The only import in this class is for MaildirMessage. This is the only class
that uses anything from javamaildir. (Apart from that class returned from
maildirMessage.getMaildirFilename() but this is the only thing its used
for.) Basically this implementation class maps the message IDs to the unique
number from the Maildir message file name. This allows it to find messages
quicker.
I could quickly hack together a new ASL version. Of course I would do this
without bothering to read the original code to make sure I don't get sued!
8o) ... Alternatively I could just e-mail Alex about it? ;o)
