---------------------------------------
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.

> Store attachments out of the database
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-2371
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2371
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: MailStore & MailRepository
> Reporter: mostafa vtp
> Priority: Major
> Labels: storage
>
> 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
