Ok, I have been playing around a bit with this.
I added the listener through the Spring XML files and now I receive
the events in my listener. It's working great.
When event.getSession().getType().equals(SessionType.System), the
e-mail is being handled/received/modified through SMTP, right?
Otherwise it's user, which is the user doing some actions himself, right?
So this way I could check if a user is dragging an e-mail inside his
INBOX, or it's a message received by SMTP.
Because when a user is dragging an e-mail inside his INBOX, I need to
sync this back to our CRM, so I can make the message there, too.
Also, I was wondering what would be the best way to query the mailbox.
For example, when I receive a message in the listener, could I use the
event.getSession().getAttributes().get("MESSAGEMAPPER") safely? It's
mentioned this class isn't thread safe. But I need to be able to fetch
the full message including headers and everything, so I can sync it to
our CRM.
Also, I was wondering what would be the best way to do the status
updates from our CRM. Because when I make an IMAP session and mark a
message read, the listener receives it and syncs it back to our CRM.
That way I'm doing double syncing, which isn't what we want of course.
Could I check for example the host name inside the public void
event(Event event)? I cannot seem to find any methods or properties
that would give me a context containing these details.
I also saw a createSystemSession()-method on the MailboxManager. I'm
not sure how to access this MailboxManager though. I could register it
to some class using the spring beans (or even my listener class), but
I don't think that would be a good idea. I could set up something
using JMS messaging so a class inside JAMES would be receiving
messages through JMS and then update the mailbox. Though I think there
must be a better way, but I cannot seem to find it yet.
I hope you guys could give me a bit more insight on how to do this.
Not asking for complete solutions. :) I just don't know where to look
yet. :)
Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated.
