However, I understand some had a better experience with it. I am curious
if someone will fork dovecot and restore the beloved feature.
With all the recent actions going on, clearly targeting in getting more paying 
„pro“ customers (and nothing else!) the dovecot project will walk on thin ice 
and there is a risk (or chance :) ) that it will get forked, all the good 
dovecot developers walking over to the fork and dovecot let down to a product 
no one uses anymore.
It happend before, i.ex. nagios/icinga, CentOS/Alma-/Rocky Linux and other big, 
commonly used software projects.


Sadly, Dovecot is a project with only a few prolific developers, all of which work for the company as far as I know. So, the scenario you describe is pretty unlikely. Maybe new community developers will stand up now, but that is something I think we can only welcome. And forks don't need to be adversarial like that.

Regards,


Stephan.
