Description

I would be great if James could store the emails in Amazon S3.

There would be some advantages to this setup.

1) once the email is on S3, the email is safe and will not be lost.
2) the email is available from anywhere.
In the case you have a lot of mail traffic, you can have many James instances and all of them will have access to the same store, so any of them will be able to fetch the email.

S3 has 2 apis: SOAP and REST. (I prefer REST because it is simpler to use).
