SearchCommand: Modular Implementation...?
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: JAMES-714
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-714
             Project: James
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: IMAPServer
    Affects Versions: Trunk
            Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
            Priority: Minor


The Search command is a part of the IMAP specification that is yet to be 
implemented in James. The wiring has already been outlined with 
SearchCommandParser in SearchCommand returning a SearchTerm implementation. All 
good so far.

I need to implement a solution for a small number of search keys in order to 
allow my IMAP server to be accessed by an Apple Mail.app client. (Not sure when 
I'll find the time so opening a JIRA rather than discussing on list.)

Implementing the complete Search command specification is likely to be time 
consuming. However, the specification naturally breaks down into the composite 
application of a number of search keys. So, it should be possible to factor the 
design so that each search key implementation could be implemented in 
isolation. This would allow a partial implementation of the most commonly used 
search terms to be build up over time.

Opinions?
