Description

This extension has now been moved to the XWiki Attic, as it's not been maintained for more than 12 years at the time of writing and not working when installed on XWiki 17.6.0. It's also been modified so that it cannot be found by the XWiki Extension Manager by default.

Foreword

This application allows to persist emails read from configured server(s) into XWiki pages.

This component is still in BETA stage
Use it with caution and expect big api breakages until version 1.0 is reached
This application is far from final and not everything works
When upgrading to next versions of this application you may have to purge all mails that were persisted as there might not be an automated migration procedure

If you still want to test take a look at it and maybe contribute to make the final version better. Please continue reading ! emoticon_smile

Introduction

This application allows managing a mail archive into XWiki and offers the following possibilities:

ADMINISTRATE: configure connections to mail servers, mailing-lists, mail types, parameterize the way emails are stored and presented, etc.
OPERATE: based on what is configured, allows you to create loading sessions, automate them, debug them, etc.
CONSULT: for end-users, various screens allow to navigate loaded emails (something close to famous nabble, markmail, and so on...)

It is highly recommended that you read the Documentation before installing and using this application
This is not the kind of application that can be used without initial configuration, using only default values
Currently this is really only an archive - there is no possibility to post a reply from the Mail Archive. It may be implemented in a (hopefully not too far) future.

The Design page can also be interesting reading and gives more details about the development progress and link to the JIRA project.

To know what is already implemented, what to expect to work and what is known not to work at all, please consult the release notes of each version below.
