The application is quiet stable and can be considered "finished".

Yes, there is an ongoing plan to front ZO=CB with an embedded IMAP=20
server. Unfortunately, this is taking more time than expected as the=20
IMAP protocol is, err, a bit convoluted. To complicate things further,=20=

there is no viable open source IMAP implementation in Java that I know=20=

of.

Regarding FTP, the plan is to gently replace it with a WebDAV=20
implementation.  Something along the lines of Pier Fumagalli's "A=20
simple approach to WebDAV":
