I guess maybe this is sort of a 'chicken and egg' conundrum? Why would a client implement something that has no server side support? It seems to me that it would make more sense for servers to be the first to add support for things like this. Label it experimental of course unless/until there is at least one client that can be used for real world testing, but somebody has to go first... A question came up recently on the Thunderbird list about BURL support, and I did some checking and found this as the only message in the postfix archives with BURL in the subject... I also found this email from Mike Abbot in April 2010 announcing Apple's contribution of a patch for both postfix and dovecot for BURL support, and for CATENATE and URLAUTH support for dovecot too, so I'm confused about the comment about Apple not supporting it. So... anyone know what happened here? I would soooo love to be able to uncheck the 'Save copy to Sent folder' for my postfix+dovecot accounts. */Charles/*/* */
