BTW: Integrating IMAP, jSieve and Mailboxmanager, is one important goal for me. I personally find it very comfortable to get the mail sorted on server side and access it from different computers via IMAP.
interesting :-) this sounds similar to a long term interest of mine but i concluded a while ago that IMAP isn't good enough. i'm more interested in a RESTful solution: mailDAV (serving email over http/webDAV). helping out with an IMAP implementation has been really interesting since it's demonstrated to me that IMAP is really way too complex to scale to web volumes. i'm interested in a protocol that is cachable and scales well given read-often, write rarely loads. HTTP seem to fit the bill. sorting isn't good enough for me either: emails need to be tagged with meta-data on the server. meta-data can then used to present a folder based view to a client or for any other purposes. i think that a rules engine plus a domain specific language would work better than SLIEVE. for these purposes, i think that a JCR is more suitable that a conventional database for email storage. i ran some experiments a while ago and the performance is good (for what i'm interested in). yes, this is a long term vision but over the last few months i've discovered that there are lot of other people interested in ideas related to these. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
