Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-1861:
---------------------------------------------
Hi Folks, using commons-net I was thinking of bulking support for SMTP(S),
POP3(S) and IMAP(S) into the same _*protocol-email*_ plugin. Is this a better
architecture choice than separating each implementation out into an individual
protocol plugin?

> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: protocol
> Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
> Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
> Priority: Major
>
> Implementing the Post Office Protocol within Nutch would open up a new use
> case which is crawling and indexing of some mail servers.
> This is particularly useful for investigation purposes or for porting/mapping
> mail from one server to another.
> We *may* be able to kil two bird with the one stone by implementing both IMAP
> and POP3 protocols under the one plugin.
