I've now had a look and the IMAP code written by Darrell
(IMAP2 proposal) and I think I can write a bridging class
between ImapMailBox , ImapStore and the current db: and file:
repositories. It'll be fun (cough

Take a look at dbmail (http://www.dbmail.org/) They have an imap
implementation on top of a database.
Is there IMAP code in the CVS? I didn't see it last time I looked.

I just thought about this under the format where you say
.select(user.folder) does that automatically assume a
folder under the INBOX? If so how do you select a folder
that isn't under the inbox?
There is no hierarchy. They are just names. The hierarchy is a fiction.
Just adopt a

You are allowed.
Anyway, the mail servers I am familiar with do place INBOX at the same

Kervin, just so you know that was Surge that wrote that. I wrote a response
which your post gives a perfect example to.

in the IMAP4rev1 RFC, it shows instances of there being subfolders of
INBOX, but INBOX is special in that it always exists, and when you do
a rename of INBOX it just create a new folder and moves the contents
of INBOX into it.
And re-recreates a new INBOX?
So if I have INBOX and rename it to

You can still consider me in for working on parts of the IMAP
implementation. I've been buried on a political tracking tool since last
poking around in the existing experimental code. The only other
experience I have with James beyond just using the server was to have
