That would be great! At the moment I make only sporadic changes to the
draft API interfaces on SVN.
Things would get more dynamic with external input. :-) It's really
difficult to fit every need and to keep things simple.

I think a lot about that. I also have some ideas. One question is for
example how could James benefit from a logical namespace for message
repositories / mailboxes?
But IMO the first solution will be to allow optionally plugging in the
namespace/hierarchy aware repository and using wrappers for legacy code.
(a NamespaceMailRepository implementation).
So the codebase keeps stable.

I did it according to RFC 2087 and JavaMail. The procedure I described
as a proposal for JDBC is just a possibility not a requirement.

"Waterfall model" is really getting a swear-word in today's agile
development world, isn't it? ;-)
No waterfall model, just an overview. No complete elaborated plan, just
a few thoughts and drafts. And I promise just to skip thinking about
quota right now, because it should be enough as an overview. :-)
