[Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel] autocreate/autosieve/autoquota patches from http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/

[Sven Mueller]

Hi.

It has been requested (on the german debian user list) that we should 
include the patches from http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/, especially 
the autocreate-inbox-patch.

I'm not sure about the autocreate-inbox-patch. It solves the INBOX 
creation problem which is especially unnerving with centralized user 
databases (because you need to create the user first and also create the 
inobx for that user, often manually). However I have a bad feeling about 
automatically creating mailboxes without admin intervention.

the autosieve filter is another thing, but if we add the 
autocreate-inbox patch, we could go the full distance and also add the 
autocreate-on-sieve patch.

I would like to add the "remove quota on deletion of a folder which has 
no children" to avoid stray quota files about folders which are gone. 
These stray quota files often caused problems for me because I 
accidentally had quotas on newly (re)created folders. Problem here is 
that this also implies the (possibly non-standard) extension to the 
QUOTA IMAP-command (rmquota patch).

What do you think? Should we add those patches? If so: Which ones?

cu,
sven

compilation (i386) and usage reports, no bug reports for now. Also no 
upgrade reports from 2.1 to 2.2.
