IMHO there's definitely a gap in the market for this kind of product. i admit that including a mailbox storage implementation with IMAP is a slightly unconfortable expediency. the problem is that mailbox is not a generic API and is hopelessly coupled to IMAP. experience has shown that alternative implementations are not really possible. the internal design is also completely wrong. fixing it will require a lot of work. however, it is now a working IMAP server. once StartTLS is added into the avalon sockets, it will be feature complete. AIUI IMAP is an important feature for James 3.0. that's why i proposed cutting an IMAP milestone from the current codebase before starting to rework mailbox data access. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
