Hello List,
WARNING: long-winded description below.
I am building a web site that sends emails to users with respect certain items 
in the application.  Users then may respond to the email, which should result 
in updating the item.To give you an analogy, when you receive a facebook e-mail 
notification of a post, you may respond to this email with a comment that will 
be added to the post.
>From what I read about James, I think the mailet architecture would allow me 
>to write a custom mailet to process inbound email and then contact/run some 
>API against my application to update the item.
Also, since my web app runs on Tomcat, I am interested in a mail server that 
also runs on tomcat .
The James download page contains several components, but little in terms of 
explanation which I should download and how to put them all together.  Less so 
regarding running on Tomcat.
I downloaded what appears to be the source tree for building James as a Jar, 
but when I added this as an eclipse project, there were several compilation 
errors (e.g. unresolved reference to SocketFactory).

First Question: Does James fit the bill for what I just described?
Second Question:  Where can I find decent documentation describing how the 
roles of various components and how they fit together and how to deploy James 
on Tomcat.
Third Question:  Is there any documentation for building James in eclipse?

Thanks...
Aladin
