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
PS: Got four successful installation and usage and one succesfull
compilation (i386) and usage reports, no bug reports for now. Also no
upgrade reports from 2.1 to 2.2.
