Re: Hupa or Alternative

David,

Thanks again.  I'm not really concerned about it working properly.  
Totally trust you there... :-)   I have a few specific 
requirements/desires that I might want to discuss with you.  It might be 
a bit premature now since I haven't yet started playing with it.  But 
I'd like to embed this into my client's backoffice web site and have a 
user's JWMA instance as part of the user's currently existing profile 
page.  The login to JWMA would be automatic based on the user's 
profile.  The fewer moving parts I have to expose to the user, the 
better :-).   I'm having fits with users having to configure 
Thunderbird/Outlook/iPhone/Android/etc in order to get their mail.  
Initially, just having a link to the JWMA client page will be a huge 
improvement.   I'll likely be back to you with a few questions about 
future integration when I get the first step going.

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.

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.
