No!  If you have to write reflective code then you are bypassing the standard 
JavaMail interface, and touching GPL code, contaminating our entire codebase.

As for Norman's question, "Why we should not do it?", it is important to have 
code usable by the world, not just the FSF.  ASF code is open for *everyone*, 
including people who build proprietary, turnkey, solutions embedding our code.  
If someone wants to write a suitable maildir implementation, fine.
