Cool.

You have my full support for this. It's exactly what I am suggesting.
Let's move 'mailbox-integration-tester' folder under MPT tree. I don't
have a name preference but 'james-imap' is a bit of a name clash with
the James protocol artifact. I would add some 'test'/ 'tester'/ 'mpt'
in there to make things clear.

Please raise an issue when you are ready. I have some free time next
week so I can fix it, just let me know.

I would go even further and merge MPT and Postage and change the goal
of the new project (the components can keep their name) to be 'email
testing tools'. Postage can test load and supports POP3 and SMTP, MPT
tests protocol functionality and supports IMAP. From what I've read on
the web pages they can both be used with other mail servers, not just
James.

The fact that they share similar goals and the overhead of developing
them as separate projects are my arguments for merging them. I
understand if you don't fully agree with me.
