If you want to implement a new "mailbox" for imap you should have a
look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/imap/trunk/ . Especially
in the store and jpa module. For a maildir implementation I'm
currently thinkin about using lucene for building the "search index"
and using normal files for emails. Thoughts ?

Sounds cool :)
