| <h2><a name="What_Is_Apache_James_Mailbox.3F"></a>What Is Apache James Mailbox?</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Apache James Mailbox is a library providing a flexible Mailbox storage accessible by mail |
| protocols (IMAP4, POP3, SMTP,...) and other protocols. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>It can also be embedded into your application to implement for example |
| the <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.mindspring.com/~mgrand/pattern_synopses3.htm#Mailbox">Mailbox Pattern</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The prime usage of this library is clearly to serve as mailbox persistence |
| for IMAP protocol. The API and implementations rely on |
| <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/imap4/rfc2060.txt">RFC 2060 IMAP4rev1</a> |
| definitions and requirements but can perfectly be used in any other (non mail server) context. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The mailbox library supports different persistence mechanisms: MailDir and SQL Database via Apache OpenJPA. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>You can <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/download.cgi">download</a> current 0.4 release. |
| The <a href="apidocs/">API</a> as the schemas for the different implementations are susceptible to evolve. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul>Here are the different implementations of the mailbox we propose : |
| |
| <li><a href="mailbox-memory.html">Memory</a> for testing purposes</li> |
| |
| <li><a href="mailbox-cassandra.html">Cassandra</a></li> |
| |
| <li><a href="mailbox-maildir.html">Maildir</a></li> |
| |
| <li><a href="mailbox-jpa.html">JPA</a> </li> |
| </ul> |

| <p><a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/server/3">Apache James Server 3</a> uses this library to implement its user mailboxes.</p> |

| <p>Apache James Mailbox is tested and fully compatible with other Apache James libraries |
| such as the <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/imap">Apache James IMAP</a> |
| (see <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/mpt/index.html">this link</a> |

| |
| <p>Apache James Mailbox uses <a class="externalLink" href="http://slf4j.org/">SLF4J</a> as logging facade. For specific bindings one needs to add |
| a particular <a class="externalLink" href="http://slf4j.org/faq.html#where_is_binding">SLF4J binding</a>.</p> |
