I have been a very happy user of mairix for a number of years now. I
think it would be nice if you volunteer to put some time into keeping
mairix up to date.

I would like to point you towards

http://www.mail-archive.com/mairix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00071.html

I have been very happy with this patch, that implements

"-c   : try file name completion if maildir flags have changed\n"


Hi Per,

I am interested in including your changes. The main change I would make 
before including them is to consider not having a command line flag for 
this, but rather to do it automatically: this renaming thing is a 
property of the Maildir format and there's no reason the user should 
have to add an extra flag just to have their mailbox format supported 
correctly.


That being said, I am going to put this off until the next release, 
because right now I'd like to release the bits and pieces from the past 
several years.


So as not to forget, I've filed an issue:

I use Mairix many times a day and would love to see it continue to be
maintained.

Thanks,

Ed

Richard,

I know that you have moved on to other projects in life since the days 
when you wrote mairix. I've hinted before that I can take over support 
for mairix, such as it is. I just received a pull request on my fork 
which I am reviewing now and I could release that as well as the small 
number of other updates. I see also that there are some pull requests 
on your fork which I could address as well. I wonder if I could 
trouble you for an hour or two on formalities to transfer 
maintainership over to me? For instance, it might be good to install a 
redirect on the website leading to a new home, plus maybe grant me 
commit access to your copy.


Please let us know if you have the chance.



It seems like Richard confirmed a couple of years ago that someone could
take over if they were willing to this:

https://www.mail-archive.com/mairix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00204.html

So I guess if he just verifies again this will be good to go. 



Jostein
