Libraries for writing imap mail _server_ in Java
imap, java
Solution
I know you are asking for the libraries rather than the entire solutions, however I found these to be Java based servers:
- JAMES
- Dwarf
As far as the libraries go you'll need libraries that can:
- Parse IMAP requests
- SSL handling
- Authentication libraries [to verify the requesting user from your directory]
- Caching frameworks to handle multiple requests to the same object
I would really not recommend writing a IMAP server from scratch unless that was your main business.
Problem
I've read this: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/imap/package-summary.html I want to write an imap server rather than imap client in Java. What libraries should I be looking into? Thanks!
