It's a way to see if the mailbox has been modified (flags changed, etc.). > I guess the UID is just that of a message? It's a number that uniquely identifies a message in a mailbox. the RFC states it is 32 bits long. > Do both need to be an increasing long?

Have patience. You will need it if you wish to complete something. Patience and perseverance or else you'll be just another one who tried. > Can I just copy an existing one and rename stuff?

It uses dependency injection provided by Spring framework (and soon Guice) to inject object references into other objects at runtime. > The sample config is gone btw: > http://james.apache.org/server/3/config-mailbox.html > Do I inherit tests as well? I would imagine that a lot of tests are common to > all mailbox implementations. I think this is because the configuration changed and now it's spring based, and more modular. I see you are very ambitious but I sense you have a lot of catching up. James is complex so give it time, if you expect too much from yourself and fail you will probably be too disappointed. Make a public repo, commit something and ask if you get stuck. I will try to help when/if I can. I suggest you start with simple implementation that passes some unit tests. See for example the unit tests I did for Mailbox interface in HBase implementation: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mailbox/trunk/hbase/src/test/java/org/apache/james/mailbox/hbase/mail/model/HBaseMailboxTest.java -- Ioan Eugen Stan http://ieugen.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-dev-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-dev-h...@james.apache.org
