But, note that it seems this patch only makes it *possible* to enable auto-creation, which AFAIK defaults to off. If it is enabled, it can auto-create mail subdirectories and auto-subscribe a user to certain mailboxes, but even if this *is* enabled, manual mailbox creation does not do this. While mailbox autocreation may not be desired on some systems, on any ldap system, it may be preferable to something like kolab (which I still want to investigate packaging, I have a package already, but it needs a lot of work to get it working still ...) Luca (Olivetti), I have just added this patch (or actually the more up-to-date one from Simon Matter's SRPM), which at present I have done as another conditional (--with autocreate), even though I think it would be safe to apply the patch (I will test both with and without the directives in /etc/imapd.conf to see) by default. Another issue is that there are some scripts (cpmsg, bsd2cyrus,folderxfer,batchreconstruct,inboxfer) in Simon Matter's cyrus-imapd for converting from mbox (ie UW-IMAP) format, which you don't have. Since we need to convert from mbox anyway, I would like to add this. Any objection? Should I make a subpackage (they seem to depend on formail, thus will depend on procmail, which would be a bit of a waste ;-)). Finally, there are a few other patches you don't have, any particular reason, or can they be added as well? cyrus-imapd-2.1.11-snmpargs.patch cyrus-imapd-2.1.14-ipv6-20030703.diff.gz cyrus-imapd-2.1.3-flock.patch I haven't looked at them all in detail, or tested any of them yet (but I probably will still today).
