Thanks Stefano - com.mysql.jdbc.Driver did its deed. Maybe I find some time this weekend to test and dive into it slightly more. Then I will get back to your offer. Currently I am reading into JavaMail API for some basics. Thank a lot.

Have you asked for help in this mailing list? Maybe your problem is related to the jdbc driver used: you need the latest connector/J to connect to Mysql 5. In 2.3.0 we will remove the mm.mysql driver from James because it had issue with new mysql releases. > Actually I intended to dig into development and contribute to.

What would you like to contribute? I can help with the avalon stuff: it takes a few to understand how avalon works but it's really easy once you get it. It's not so different from Spring. > The point that I intend to make: I am able and willing to code, but in order > to be able to design a specific part for JAMES I am in the lack of sufficient > knowledge; and for my needs I did not find an appropriate compendium - > searching the archive is fine, but cumbersome and often misleading when you > are new to it.

I just wanted to submit a view from "outside" > the community In james there are avalon components binded by the container: you can easily understand what the components are and how they are linked by looking to the assembly.xml. That file gives you a great view of the high level architecture. If there are specific areas where you think you can contribute (matcher/mailets/pop3/smtp/spooling/repositories) I can point you a simple path to work on it. > Best Regards > Bernhard Stefano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
