What is
Jamesui is an unofficial Web admin console that I have made to manage Apache James 3.0 (a mail server written in java) ( http://james.apache.org/server/3/ ).
Why Jamesui
Some time ago i have decided to try Vaadin ( https://vaadin.com/home ) to create web applications. The best solution to learn it was create a “real case application”.
At work i have used Apache James to perform some tests, and i noticed that was missing a graphical user interface for the administration tasks....ok, that was my “real case application”.
