David,
Thanks again. I'm not really concerned about it working properly.
Totally trust you there... :-) I have a few specific
requirements/desires that I might want to discuss with you. It might be
a bit premature now since I haven't yet started playing with it. But
I'd like to embed this into my client's backoffice web site and have a
user's JWMA instance as part of the user's currently existing profile
page. The login to JWMA would be automatic based on the user's
profile. The fewer moving parts I have to expose to the user, the
better :-). I'm having fits with users having to configure
Thunderbird/Outlook/iPhone/Android/etc in order to get their mail.
Initially, just having a link to the JWMA client page will be a huge
improvement. I'll likely be back to you with a few questions about
future integration when I get the first step going.

David, thanks for the quick response. JWMA didn't show up in my
original google search. It looks like it will definitely meet my
needs. Is there a forum for tech discussions for JWMA?
hi Jerry
Any questions - ask me - after you've ready the doc, which is pretty good; it's
my project these days.
I got onto it around 2012 or something like; I thought it looked very pretty,
but it worked like ... no I don't want to be rude. Problem was the original
people had rolled their own instead of using a framework and the code was
pretty pasta like - the long thin stuff.
I rewrote it all using the stripes framework, which was excellent - very sad that it
seems to be slipping to oblivion. I wrote the view stuff for small screen clients, but
the desktop view code and appearance is pretty mush as the original guys did it. I tried
to rewrite it in "modern" html - doing away with tables, but came to the
opinion it wasn't possible.
I also extended it a bit by making maildir storage format an option - it was
mbox only originally. I don't use maildir, so it's not had a lot of testing,
but I think it's ok. You'll need maildir of course if james is your imap server
as I don't think it does mbox?. mail exchanger, imap server (james acts as both
of course) and webmail client must all use same storage format.
TBH it's unlikely I'll do much more with it as it works perfectly and does
exactly what I need. the code is a bit clunking in places where I bolted on
stuff I didn't appreciate would be necessary at original design stage, but :-)
it's not so bad!
