<h2>Mailbox and Mail Repository Store for Mail Persistence<a name="Mailbox_and_Mail_Repository_Store_for_Mail_Persistence"></a></h2>
<div class="section">
<h3>Introduction<a name="Introduction"></a></h3>
<p>The <b>Mailbox</b> persists users' Inbox, Sent Items, Trash... folders with their mails.</p>
<p>The <b>Mail Repository Store</b> persists spam, error,... mails, so nothing to do with users visible mails.</p>
<p>In case of database access, both Mailbox and Mail Repository Store use database connection defined via database.properties.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3>Mailbox Persistence<a name="Mailbox_Persistence"></a></h3>
<p>Apache James Server uses the <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/mailbox">Apache James Mailbox</a> storage system
to store the users mailboxes.</p>
<p>The mailbox library supports different persistence mecanisms: MailDir, Database (via JPA) and JCR.</p>
<p>Mailbox persistence is configured in spring-beans.xml (by default JPA,
you set the database connection properties in database.properties - can also be
MailDir, JCR).</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3>Mail Repository Store Persistence<a name="Mail_Repository_Store_Persistence"></a></h3>
<p>Available Mail Repository Store are defined in mailrepositorystore.xml.
Each has an URL prefix (file, db, dbfile,...) that can be used in mailetcontainer.xml
to define where to store spam,... mails (example: file://var/mail/error/).</p>
<p>More information about the mailstores configuration can be
found <a href="config-mailrepositorystore.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Mail Repository Stores are distinguished by how they store data. There are five types of
storage: File, Database, DBFile, MBox and JCR.</p>
