/**
* This is an event queue to dispatch javamail events on separate threads
* from the main thread. EventQueues are created by javamail Services
* (Transport and Store instances), as well as Folders created from Store
* instances. Each entity will have its own private EventQueue instance, but
* will delay creating it until it has an event to dispatch to a real listener.
*
* NOTE: It would be nice to use the concurrency support in Java 5 to
* manage the queue, but this code needs to run on Java 1.4 still. We also
* don't want to have dependencies on other packages with this, so no
* outside concurrency packages can be used either.
