I have started working on a web app with Hibernate and JSF that will
manage the users (add, change, delete) and get some stats (dead letter
count, inbox stats). If anyone is interested in it, let me know.
I think a Swing app would be good for configuring and editing the XML files.

anyone have some idea about something for GSOC ?
1. A GUI based wizard (with context help - to explain every setting),
e.g. with Swing UI+JNLP, to allow the configuration and setup of JAMES
in various architectures for non-programmer admins too (or e.g. owners
of small companies)?
2. A Simple and lightweight GUI (Swing UI+JNLP) to allow the
configuration and maintenance of JAMES without the need to use the
Telnet client? For most people is very very hard to use that - and in
many cases the reason why they don't use JAMES but some other
alternative?
3. Documentation. Actual (no 10 year old) documentation for JAMES?
4. Tutorials with examples how to program with JAMES, how to make
mailets do what you want, etc.
5. Postage project to be tweaked to be generic - to able to test other
mail servers too (as promissed), thus allowing very simply to compare
the results of JAMES to other Mail Servers.
6. GUI to configure Postage (don't force the users to edit XML files),
or maybe this could be a plug-in for JMeter with Postage.
7. Mailing List with JAMES + web UI? Something like Subetha:
http://code.google.com/p/subetha/
but based on JAMES, and also much simpler and much more lightweight
(so not with JBoss, EJBs, etc. - if possible using Apache.org frameworks)
I can detail the requirements for any of the above if you wish, and
also why they would greatly help to grow the JAMES user base.
