Hi. I am a new package maintainer in charge of my first Debian package. The package, an email client named althea, has just been installed into unstable last night. It is an IMAP email client, but I don't believe it supports reading locally through the mbox format files in /var/spool/mail (which is good for me because I have switched to Maildir :) . I think it reads email exclusively through IMAP. I assume it should provide the imap-client virtual package, but should it also provide the mail-reader virtual package, or is that restricted to MUAs that support local reading?
Please CC me in any replies, since I am at the moment not subscribed to debian-devel. I intend to become a Debian developer, and then I will subscribe, but I don't have the time right now to remember how to write a procmail recipe to filter out the list into a separate folder to prevent my inbox from getting too large. (Any help on this would be appreciated as well.) Thank you for your advice on this matter. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
