| <h2><a name="What_Is_Apache_James_Protocols_IMAP4.3F"></a>What Is Apache James Protocols IMAP4?</h2> |
| |
| <p>A library providing a flexible codec for IMAP4, command processors |
| and a sample data access layer.</p> |
| |
| <p>In combination with a socket layer, and a mailbox persistence, |
| this library can be used to create an IMAP server.</p> |
| |
| <p><a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/imap4/rfc2060.txt">RFC 2060 IMAP4rev1</a> |
| is functionally complete, tested and usable. The data access layer is still |
| under optimization on performance perspectives. API is susceptible to change.</p> |
| |
| <p>You can <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/download.cgi">download</a> current 0.3 release. |
| The <a href="apidocs/">API</a> are susceptible to evolve.</p> |
| |
| <p>There are many extensions defined for IMAP (see a list <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/imap4-capabilities">here</a>)</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache James IMAP implements the following:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>IMAP4rev1 (RFC 3501 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3501.txt)</li> |
| |
| <li>NAMESPACE (in release 0.2) (RFC 2342 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt)</li> |
| |
| <li>IDLE (in release 0.2) (RFC 2177 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2177.txt)</li> |
| |
| <li>LITERAL+ (in release 0.2)</li> |
| |
| <li>CHILDREN (in release 0.2)</li> |
| |
| <li>WITHIN (in release 0.2)</li> |
| |
| <li>UIDPLUS (in release 0.2)</li> |
| |
| <li>UNSELECT (in release 0.2)</li> |
| |
| <li>I18NLEVEL=1 (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>ESEARCH (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>SEARCHRES (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>AUTH=PLAIN (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>SASL-IR (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>ENABLE (in release 0.2.1)</li> |
| |
| <li>CONDSTORE (RFC 4551 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4551.txt in release 0.3)</li> |
| |
| <li>RESYNCH (RFC 5162 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5162.txt on master)</li> |
| |
| <li>MOVE (RFC 6851 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6851 on master). This is enabled only if you use a MailboxManager exposing the Move capability</li> |
| |
| <li>METADATA Extension (RFC 5464 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5464.txt on master). This is enabled only if you use a MailboxManager exposing the Annotation capability</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>We follow RFC2683 recommendations for our implementations:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>IMAP4 Implementation Recommendations (RFC 2683 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2683.txt)</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Interesting features:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Users FLAGS</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Other RFCs of interest we are looking at:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>IMAP4 SORT and THREAD Extensions (RFC 5256 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5256.txt)</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>We have <a class="externalLink" href="https://github.com/apache/james-project/tree/master/mpt">integration tests</a> for IMAP.</p> |
| |
| <p>Our implementation is also tested against external tools such as <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.imapwiki.org/ImapTest">http://www.imapwiki.org/ImapTest</a>.</p> |
