hmm, i think i interpolated that from the formats.txt and other files.
also, with the unix driver (LF in the mailboxes), imapd still delivers nicely

The traditional UNIX format is incapable of preserving newlines. Thus its driver must convert newlines in data, both incoming and outgoing.

mix and mbx do not have this problem.

This is all c-client library. None of this has anything to do with imapd. imapd and IMAP protocol exist solely in a world where newline is CRLF, and a CR or LF by itself is not a newline.

If your MDA really has LF-newlines, then something converted the CRLFs carried by SMTP to LF. You should fix whatever did that, instead of thinking that your MDA should convert LF-newline to CRLF.
