JavaMail Mbox Provider
The mbox provider is a JavaMail local store provider that manages files in Unix mbox format (in particular, the mboxcl2 variant).
The mbox provider has only been tested on Solaris and OpenSolaris. It should be easy to make it work on Linux, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I tried it once on Windows, long ago, but there's no file locking support for use on Windows. On Solaris and OpenSolaris it depends on native file locking code.
To build the mbox provider:
% (cd mbox; mvn) % (cd mbox/native; mvn)
This depends on having the c89 command in your PATH.
To use the mbox provider you'll need to add mbox/target/mbox.jar to your CLASSPATH and add mbox/native/target/libmbox.so to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
