IMAP is intended to be assembled using IoC and so is highly flexible but i think that adding this sort of configuration to the james configuration would be a big mistake. so, i would much prefer to see most details like torque settings in an independent spring assembly file associated for IMAP. for example, the configuration might contain a general data source URL and perhaps a (possibly relative) URL for an assembly file for IMAP but all the details would be specific to the mailbox and IMAP. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
