Are you sure about the JIRA number? Also, what's wrong about having several instances of a given concept? I mean, do you want James core code to be unable to change the MailAddress public API because it would break API stability for users? Using the same object everywhere means you introduce coupling and coupling is not always a good thing. Could you elaborate why you think coupling protocols/smtp, mailet/api and james/core is a good thing?
