I think the prudent thing to do in this case is to make sure that the 2.2.2 release is something that works very well and is quite stable. The goal here is to give the dbmail community a IMAP/POP server that will be suitable for their needs for some time to come in the future. This will give the developers the time necessary to do everything that they need to do in order to get threads working right. And without an immediate crunch to fix some bugs or get a release out. And then those of us who are more willing to take the newer releases and test them out can pick up the new 2.3x version as willing. The damaging thing would be to start working on a threaded version with a large list of known defects in the existing release. _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
