Multiple IMAP mail boxes

Ruth Hoffman
Hello All:
Has anyone integrated OFBiz JavaMailContainer with multiple IMAP mail
boxes? Does it even make sense to do this - or should start over with my
own poller?

What I'd like to do is have the mail poller look at multiple mailboxes
(perhaps on multiple domains) and, be able to set the addresses of each
mailbox up dynamically - as I discover what they are. So, the current
method of using the ofbiz-containers.xml file to configure the mail
store doesn't really work in this situation.

Just curious what others have done.

TIA
Ruth

Ruth,

There are probably some things you could do for this. First off you  
could have multiple email addresses just be routed to a single IMAP  
box and then in your MCA rule or the message processing just look at  
the to address to see how you should handle it. Kind of a virtual box  
if you will...

The other option would be to support multiple IMAP accounts that are  
really separated. It looks like the javamail-container setup in the  
ofbiz-containers.xml file is pretty inflexible, but the underlying  
code is capable of more and changing the configuration (ie the  
container entry) to be more flexible and get things setup properly  
underneath should only require a bit of coding and such.
