In regard to: [Imap-uw] Mix format? must have? Project direction? [was Re:...:
Mix format? Why is that a "must have" nowadays?
If you're using UW IMAP, mix has some major advantages over both traditional format and mbx.
Also, As for 2007'c', where would one obtain sources for it? I take it that it was never actually officially released, but I seem to remember Mark saying it was "ready to go".
I think you're thinking of 2007b, as that was what was unreleased when Mark was let go.
As for other features/work -- does anyone know if another UW project is picking up imapw? It seems to be fairly widely used.
The future is uncertain, but it seems highly unlikely that UW would be the driving force behind UW imapd in a year's time. If it's going to continue to get future development, it probably has to come from some other source.
It seems that Cyrus IMAP is the only open-source alternative available that has any 'traction'?
I believe that is incorrect. Cyrus is probably the best known alternative, but I think dovecot is compelling, especially since it apparently can index traditional format -- kind of a better (IMHO) mbx. Mark also commented favorably on dovecot on this list. There are other options as well. In fact, there are a surprising number of options. Do a web search for the script "imapsync", download it, and then look at the products its been tested with in its README. That turned up several free or open source IMAP implementations I had never heard of. Several of them are definitely worth another look.
