---------------------------------
Summary: Make James Basic Server easier to use (was: Make James Local
Server easier to use)
> Make James Basic Server easier to use
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-3216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3216
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Leangen
> Priority: Major
>
> The "James Local Server" is currently described as:
> ----
> h2. James Local Mail Server
> If you are not sure which server you should be using, then you probably ought
> to be using the [*Local
> Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html]. This server
> uses the local file system to store emails, which tends to considerably
> simplify the system. To safeguard your emails, you only need a simple generic
> backup solution that works with a data volume.
> This server is intended to be the simplest to set up and use in production.
> It has the least amount of dependencies and complexities. If you do not yet
> have a huge amount of emails to process, then usually the simplicity is well
> worth the loss of some functionality. The last thing you need is to have to
> resolve difficult issues on a production server when you have not yet
> acquired the requisite knowledge to deal with those issues. Using the [*Local
> Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html] will help you
> reduce the risk of running into production issues.
> This server is:
> * Suggested for use with smaller deployments
> * Appropriate for use by most operators
> * The preferred choice for most installations
> * Endowed with fewer dependencies, which makes it simpler and less risky to
> use in production
> * Only dependent on your local file system for data storage, so very easy to
> manage
> ----
>
> This server is currently difficult to set up and use.
> To make James more appealing to new users, installation should be simplified.
> When input or configuration is required by users, it should be minimized and
> well documented.
>
> Note: I am working on this issue with the help of the community, but for some
> reason I am not able to assign the issue to myself.
