Camel has been written now. Please convert future tense to -present tense. Thank you. - - -- Peter Williams 7/2/2001 -] - -Camel will be a generic messaging library. It will evntually support -the standard messaging system for receiving and sending messages. -It aims at being the backend for the future gnome-mailer system. - -The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there. -You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on -gnome-list to find the best explanation :) - -Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People -wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API -specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too. - -Please, before starting anything, wait for me to finish the abstract -classes. Some parts are not definitive yet. - - -Organization: -------------- - -The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic -"interfaces" (idl interfaces, not java interfaces ). - -Particular implementations are called providers. - -Here are the basic objects: - -* CamelService : an abstract class representing an access to a server. -Handles the connection and authentication to any server. - -* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server. - -* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always -associated with a store. - -* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set -of attributes and a content.
