Hi,

POP3 and SMTP run in the protocols framework where you can define handler chains via configuration (the Handlers being JAVA classes). IMAP4 does not allow this and you have to implement in-hard in the code.

There is an effort to implement IMAP4 in the protocols project, which will make it benefit from existing and new handlers (whithelisting,...) configurable via XML file.

I can't tell any plan for configurable IMAP handlers to be available. If you can't wait us to offer this, just implement a specific Processor in the current IMAP code.

Thx,
Eric

Hello James Developers,

Long time lurker and fan, my company has been dealing with email for some time 
and recently we started a project to use James IMAP to access our email.  So we 
started our own Mailbox implementation.

Recently the idea of limiting access to the IMAP service based on whitelisted 
ip addresses came up and looking at the source code for IMAP I do not see 
anything IP address related to the user.  I could modify the source however I 
did want to see if this is a feature that the James developers were thinking 
about anyway?

Regards,
Roy
