Package: courier-imap
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Currently, courier-imap has a "Conflict: imap-server" in control file. I didn't
found information on the reason for this in the debian changelog. I checked
with dovecot for example and I can't see any reason other than port conflict.
Port conflict can be fixed the way apache does it for example (don't start the
service if a program is already listen on imap port). That will ease miration
from one imap server to courier-imap or in some complex case allow running
different imap server on the same computer with different ports.

Folks,
I am closing all pre-jessie bugs as the courier package as there are
simply too many of those and they might have been already fixed in
recent releases. I am sorry to do so, but the courier package had seen
the last upload from respective maintainer in 2014 and it has been NMUed
several times since then, and I am just doing some basic maintenance
work, and I don't have neither time nor motivation to check whether bugs
from 2000-2010 are still valid.
If you care about your bug, please retest with recent version in Debian
unstable, and if you are able to reproduce, please reopen it and tag
with "found <bugnum> 0.76.3-2". I'll try my best to resolve the bug if I
have a spare time.
The courier is in desperate need of a maintainer who actually uses
courier mta. Or at least a co-maintainer that could test the changes
before pushing them forward.
Cheers,
