3.10 is in testing and backports, 3.12 is in experimental. It seems to me

In fact it's not even the «y» in the x.y.z, but the «z». I'm a little
disappointed the z is old.

I'm running everything in stable, so 3.6.1 who was release in Feb 2023.


It's perfectly understandable to keep something like imap over a long time.
But for me the «z» is for bugs fix, so in my mind it should be «easy» to
have the upgrade.

When I'm running FreeBSD I keep the same x.y during the 7 years of the
hardware, but the z is quickly upgraded.

But maybe I'm totally wrong.

In Debian stable security and importants patches are backported.

You are not running a Feb 2023 release, you are running a one year package with security and important patch backported. That's what you want when running Debian's stable.

If you need a missing important patch, just submit a bug and/or a tested patch.

If you need the new features, use backport.

If you need the new bugs, use testing, sid or experimental.

If you have special needs build your own package :
cyrus-imapd (3.8.4-1.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Proxying uid search : official fix

cyrus-imapd (3.8.4-1.2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * fix_proxy_uid_search
