Package: mailutils Version: 1:2.99.97-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
After running into problems using Courier IMAP and a remote Mutt client I decided to try mailutils-imap4d instead. One of the first steps I usually take is to look at the default or sample configuration that is installed along with a particular daemon. Mailutils, as a whole, ships with an extremely small example config in the documentation directory. The mailutils-imap4d package comes with neither a default configuration (in /etc) nor a sample config file. Lacking these, I began reading the info docs, which I'm sure is what the developers were hoping, and found that I could make imap4d output a sample config with --config-help. This is a good starting point, but it lacks the verbosity of a good default/sample configuration file. Hence this wishlist bug. I would like to see some sort of default configuration installed in /etc or a sample configuration somewhere in /usr/share/doc/mailutils*/. Since I am just beginning to use Mailutil's IMAP daemon, I need to go through part of the documentation anyway. I would be willing to create a more general and verbose config for the IMAP daemon. I wanted to check first, though, because if such a thing is not desired or will be rejected for some existing reason then there is no reason for me to make it. Would this be worth creating and, if useful enough, would it be accepted? -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
