Wow that sounds like an incredibly good news! Welcome onboard! I will do my best to answer your questions, as well as help you contribute back. > One of the first questions that we have is that the messages that travel > from some kind of internal document management system to the digital > postbox of the resident (via web services) - these messages are always not > exactly an email but also contain some additional fields that carry > information that will be later needed by mailets and UI that displays them > (we plan to use JMAP for displaying). Regarding JMAP, Linagora employed contributors are currently implementing RFC-8621 (JMAP mail). Most of the work for reading mails is already done regarding reading mail. Writing mails will come in the coming months. In the meantime I would discourage using the Draft version. > 1.Would it be possible for messages to arrive into James via any other > means besides SMTP protocol (like a web service endpoint).

No such things exist yet but I believe it would be easy to add it as a plugin, using for instance webadmin. > 2. what would be the best way to add the additional fields into the email > so that they could be later read by UI and mailets that process them.

No, we use it at Linagora to display "event" information that could be contained in mails. The downside is of course that the MUA needs to be performing the display based on that header, this feature is only available in MUA supporting it. > > Thanks > Juhan Aasaru > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-user-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-user-h...@james.apache.org
