---------------------------------------

Hi mostafa,

Regarding project relations

**/mailbox/api** defines the APIs to interact with mail storage. There is a 
couple of implementations, for instance,**mailbox/memory** for testing 
purposes, **mailbox/jpa** for storing emails in a database over JPA, 
**mailbox/cassandra** for doing so over Cassandra.

Here are the main interfaces:
 - *MailboxManager* for handling "non selected IMAP operations", mailbox level 
operations.
 - *MessageManager* is for handling messages level operations.

The **mailbox/store** project proposes an implementation for these managers and 
delegates to the implementations only specific storage concerns through 
mappers. Here are the main mappers:
 - MailboxMapper for simple mailbox storage directives
 - MessageMapper for simple message storage directives

Note that there is a full test suite for each of these mappers, to ensure 
compliance (at least for supported, non experimental back-ends mentioned above).

Maybe this page could be enhanced with what I just had been presenting to you. 
I will create a ticket for that.

This page gives you a more global overview of the James architecture (not just 
limited to the **mailbox**) http://james.apache.org/server/dev.html

If you have some more precise questions, I would be glad to answer it.

Cheers.

Benoit

> I want to store email attachments on file system(directly or by calling a 
> service to do it) and save only text part of the message body in database.
> I know that in general, saving whole message body (including attachments) in 
> database is better But due to certain circumstances, I have to do it. And it 
> may be useful for others with limited storage space on database.
> We can implement it as a configurable feature.
> And if it is not accepted as a new feature, can anyone help me out how to do 
> it?
> Thank you
