hey，guys

I just have an idea of implementing a river for receiving mails（or maillists），it should support pop3 or imap basicly ，the river will be useful if you have lots of mail like me and the mail-client becomes more and more fat，especially when searching for something，just like nightmare，anybody have the same idea，or any thoughts about this river？,welcome to share.

yours sincerely,

Nice idea.  
Something like gmail does...

Sounds good...

When done, you can use percolator to identify mails with keywords or aughors and send alerts to new email address while indexing. Makes sense ?

hi, David ,

make sense deadly~  
that’s it,  
percolator can be used to aggregate the mails,  
i can store the unread mails’s id in another type like ”unread” with the Parent-Child magic to relate the parent-type “mail”，  
after reading the mail,just delete the id in “unread”,

though another box act as ES-Server is needed.

This reminds me of Zoe, which was a unique email client (at the time -  
2004, waaaay before Gmail).

[http://kylecordes.com/2004/zoe-review](http://kylecordes.com/2004/zoe-review)

It used lucene under the covers to index all of your email and make it  
searchable.

I'm working on an IMAP river to do exactly this. I have the basics  
working.

I'll open-source a it once complete.

First I need to wade my way out of maven hell.
