Many good suggestions and comments. But while I was trying to do it right (silly me), the brass hat got it working with whatever is on the phone and I am told that everything is fine (until it isn't). Thanks to all who responded -- Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resour

You might consider how to direct your needy users to a mail server instance that has Maildir. If you are afraid, or its difficult to wedge this into your current setup, you could have a completely different mail server host their mail, and you could use a MX server and/or a perdition IMAP

Re: [Dovecot] CONDSTORE + QRESYNC extensions

2008-03-14 Thread Ed W
QRESYNC would require keeping track of expunges. This could be implemented by just going through records in log files to find out what messages have been expunged since the given modseq (= log seq+offset). Although I'm not sure if it would be better to have a separate expunge log. To allow rarel

[Dovecot] Feature request: dovecot -d option to output only/all 'defaults' of current version

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes

2008-03-14 Thread Timo Sirainen
Virtual mailbox support can be tested with: hg clone http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-virtualboxes/ The code is still pretty non-optimized and I've only done some small tests, but at least it appears to work. Messages can't yet saved to virtual mailboxes, but I was thinking that the first configured
