Hi, I work at a company that developes software for Telecoms, and I'm also developing a project on-top of Apache James. I'm also interested in the question Matthieu made regarding pushing James to Java 7 (or maybe 8).
I would also like to know (regarding IMAP), if there is any roadmap for implementing the LISTSTATUS extension (RFC 5819), or if anyone is working on them, if so, I could help/join. I would also like to know if anyone is working on Documentation, i found out that it was really hard to start developing on top of James, because the lack of Documentation and fragmentation of the project.
