Hi,

I decided to stop working on the CouchDB backend. I'm sorry.

Bad news, it was a good idea James supporting couchdb


There is something to be said for persisting and finishing, but I do not enjoy 
writing it and I don't need it. I'm going to focus instead on what I set out to 
do, write a webmail application. I will persist in that.

I learned that what I wanted to do is not a good design at all. I thought it would be 
easy to write my webmail application on top of CouchDB and have James "fish from the 
same pool". This would create a tight coupling between my app and James, and leaves 
me at the mercy of future changes to the API.

Instead, I'll just write my app on top of IMAP, and in fact, I couldn't care 
less how the mail server stores my email.

Yeah, this is the approach  used by HUPA (the webmail of James), take
a look to its architecture in this presentation:
http://www.slideshare.net/dodotis/apache-jameshupa-gwt

Why not adding the presentation or its link to the hupa documentation? We are lacking good documentation.

Regards
Felix
