Great. I've made some maior changes to James architecture but do not
worry... It seems much more than it really is. And the servlet interface is
unchanged.
Basically I've moved the SMTP, POP3 and RemoteManager from beeing separated
Blocks to be Component inside James. This becouse those Blocks were not
sharable services inside Avalon but they only belong to James. This way,
IMHO, the picture is more clear and configurations a bit simplier.
I've added too a new Component that is the UsersManager to abstract user
authentication from the authentication implementation. This class will
probally evolve to be as close as possible to the JAAS architecture.

We should add to UserManager more features: let it store user information
such as inbox path and other preferences. for example add a method like
String getUserInbox(user) which will return the same path both if the login
is used or if an alias is used instead.
I've not a very clear picture of this stuff so... I'd like to wait a bit and
think about.
