I got Beta 4 running, but it's got so many problems that it's just
barely usable. I've been tracking the developer list and it looks like
there is some activity still going on. There are trunk builds being
made periodically, but it would be nice if the active developers would
take stable binary snapshots more often with zips of the source as well.
I'm still using james-2.3.2. I periodically make changes in the source
to fix little things that I find to make it more usable for myself. I
had a problem with my ISP, verizon.net, where they wanted everybody to
start using SSL for SMTP (smtps). So I added that to keep it running.
Otherwise, verizon wouldn't let me send remote mail from it to their
gateway.
However, it would be nice to use james3 to eliminate the Avalon stuff.
Avalon is just more trouble than it's worth. It would also be nice to
have the IMAP support too.

I don’t know about the level of support from the official maintainers. I had
some trouble getting my implementation running, but since I got it configured
the way I wanted it I have had no trouble with it. Maybe that’s why the list
isn’t very active - once you have it running, there isn’t much to do.
At any rate, I am going to put up a bunch of material about James and share it
with everyone else. Not that I am an expert in the source code or anything of
the sort, but I will share my experiences with the product and examples of how
to implement the software and basic features.
Also, I have a stable build of beta 5, which is much improved over beta 4. If
you would like a copy, feel free to email me off list. I will make it available
online soon.
If you would like to make sure I am a troll, you can see some of my work here:

Do you hear your voice's echo? I had a similar experience with James
couple of months ago. It took weeks to
try to get on their mailing list. There are a couple of people that
appear to be trying to answer inquiries but they are clearly
overwhelmed. As for trying to find a James 3 version to use? The site
says to use Beta 4. It did not work. I could not find any info on the
James web site about this problem. I found the patch at the
stackoverflow site. I thought I would try Beta 5, but this too I wasn't
able to find nor was I able to determine what the release contained. My
related posts went unanswered.
No way was I going to risk trying to rely on this level of support.
I no longer use James.
I was willing to get involved and help support James but I found no help
in trying to even get a foothold in the application.
I hope your mileage will vary greatly from my experience. My intent is
not to flame this project. I'm Just telling you what I remember about my
experiences.
Sorry I don't have better news to share with you.

Subject: apache-james project status?
is the apache-james project still going? I've used james2.3 for many
years and just recently considered switching to james3 because of some
issues with verizon.net with SSL authentication with Remote Deliveries.
However, it looks like there hasn't been a new release since Beta5
nightly update in 2012. What is the state of the project? It's not even clear
how to get the latest source code and try to build it. I see some maven
repositories, but it isn't clear whether that's the latest source code
or not.
