I suggest that we first decide in adding this class to PEAR. Then in a step two additional "backends" can be added by separating the common and the "backend" specific methods. So this makes the naming a bit complicated. I would therefore suggest naming the class something like "Mail_[XXX]_Mbox" for now ... I don’t like "Store" as suggested earlier, because that does not make it claer that the class can do more then "store" aka "add". Regards, Lukas
