Hi! The reason this setting exists is that the mail utf8 support is not yet fully complete, so we want to make it possible for people to have it available (we build our CE packages with support enabled), but also being able to disable it, in case it does not work correctly. Eventually this setting will go away. Aki _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
