Moving the existing filerepository code to James and fixing it seems fine to me.
With regard to the future, providing a maildir implementation is fine but I'd recommend keeping the interface general enough to support other implementations.
There were questions about the operation of IMAP versus POP3 which suggested they need different mailbox functionality. When we get to that stage, I guess we need to think about the design requirements for the 4 different mail repositories: SMTP spool, POP3, IMAP and NNTP.
Cheers,
Charles

I will forward a message from Peter Donald on avalon-dev@, but basically, he
seems to be saying that the store code within Cornerstone:
a) is badly broken
b) exists only for James
c) should be removed from Cornerstone and
put into our source base
Removing our dependency upon that code, one way or the other, seems like it
will be a good idea. For the short term, I guess that we should probably
take the code from Cornerstone, merge it into our CVS, and apply your
changes. For the longer term (v3), we should replace it entirely. Peter
(Goldstein) has suggested a maildir solution.

to do refactoring cornerstone's file repository.
But the latest James uses old cornerstone which is not replacable
with the latest one. It means that the repository-bug doesn't
be fixed until we choose the latest cornerstone after heavy work on
James.
You have already wasted over half year from the time Bug#8839 was
reported. It would be better to provide the solution about it.
I think wrapping or modifying old cornerstone.jar is one of the quick
solution.
