Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to IMAP Aolserver module

Again ... the place to do such mapping is in the content repository, which already has support for two mappings (db and the file system), letting you map to existing files in the filesystem, too (as used by static-pages).

This is all transparent to client packages like file storage.

Implementing CR mapping to IMAP doesn't exclude the possibility of mapping to DAV or whatever.

With the CR mapping to IMAP it would be possible to present seamless file and mail views to the user from file storage, but file storage isn't where the work should be done.
