Apache James Learning Resources [closed]

Question

The plan is to create a list of Apache James learning resources, involving a wide a range of aspects from setting it up to using API from java.

If you read this and have some great tutorial at your fingertips, please drop a line or two.

I'll start with

• The Official Apache James Wiki
• an article by IBM: Working with James, Part 1: An introduction to Apache's James enterprise e-mail server

Answer 1

For version 3, here is the best I have found so far :

http://james.apache.org/server/3/config.html (not very helpful, but it is something)

http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/ (see questions of others)

https://james.apache.org/mail.html (mailing lists - when no docs are available, bugging people may help or force them to write more documentation... Although even that doesn't seem to work with Apache...)

If I manage to make it work the way I want, I might put some instructions here as well.

Answer 2

I'm PMC of James project.

We are working on making running James easier. So far :

• We managed to make running it easier by providing docker images (Have a look to dockerfiles on github and https://hub.docker.com/r/linagora/james-jpa-guice/ (for instance) for automatically built image... )

• We also made a CI system available for potential contributors : https://github.com/linagora/james-jenkins

• We are working hard to a new website, more appealing, and that better present the project.

I understand your concerns, and actually think myself the documentation and communication of the project is a bit unfriendly.

I bielieve that some tutorial might help. Could you please :

• Specify which use cases you are targetting (SMTP relay, IMAP server, integration of other applications with e-mails) and we can try to provide "tutorials".
• Don't hesitate to contribute to the project. On the mailing list. Or with contributions to the website.
• The right place to have such discussions is IMO the Apache James user mailing list.

Cheers,

Benoit
