Libraries for writing imap mail _server_ in Java

Question

I read this: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/imap/package-summary.html

I want to write an imap server, not an imap client in Java. What libraries should I look in?

Thank!

Answer 1

I know that you are requesting libraries, not all solutions, however I found them with Java based servers:

• JAMES
• Dwarf

As for libraries, you will need libraries that can:

• Listen to IMAP Requests
• SSL processing
• Authentication libraries [to verify the requesting user from your directory]
• Caching frameworks to handle multiple requests for the same object
