hi Jerry

Any questions - ask me - after you've ready the doc, which is pretty good; it's 
my project these days.

I got onto it around 2012 or something like; I thought it looked very pretty, 
but it worked like ... no I don't want to be rude. Problem was the original 
people had rolled their own instead of using a framework and the code was 
pretty pasta like - the long thin stuff.

I rewrote it all using the stripes framework, which was excellent - very sad 
that it seems to be slipping to oblivion. I wrote the view stuff for small 
screen clients, but the desktop view code and appearance is pretty mush as the 
original guys did it. I tried to rewrite it in "modern" html - doing away with 
tables, but came to the opinion it wasn't possible. 

I also extended it a bit by making maildir storage format an option - it was 
mbox only originally. I don't use maildir, so it's not had a lot of testing, 
but I think it's ok. You'll need maildir of course if james is your imap server 
as I don't think it does mbox?. mail exchanger, imap server (james acts as both 
of course) and webmail client must all use same storage format.

TBH it's unlikely I'll do much more with it as it works perfectly and does 
exactly what I need. the code is a bit clunking in places where I bolted on 
stuff I didn't appreciate would be necessary at original design stage, but :-) 
it's not so bad!
