Sure.
I don't know what you mean by "enable the loser flag locally". /loser is
specified in the mailbox name, e.g.,
{server.example.com/loser}INBOX
when opening the maibox. It should not be used unless the server is known
to fail without it. The code certainly should NOT be patched to set it.
From reading the source, it looks like:
* Anything that deals with sequences passes them through
imap_reform_sequence() to fix any reversed sequences (i.e., x:y where
x > y).
* Unsets adr->personal if it contains '@'.
* Ignores the THREAD capability, if advertised.
* imap_send_astring() always quotes astrings.
Correct.
In addition (this may be new in imap-2005) it also does all searches
locally, because Courier doesn't handle non-trivial search criteria
correctly and that in turn breaks Pine filters.
And, of course, this new thing in QUOTA responses to treat negative
numbers as being 0.
Are you sure that you really want to use Courier? I can understand if you
want to use maildir format (I won't get into the theological discussion
about maildir) but there is at least one alternative (Dovecot).
