Re: How to run IMAP as non-root, port 1024
For someone who is contemplating customization code to suit themselves, I would suggest that they are better off looking at the UW-IMAP code than at the Cyrus code. I speak from experence.

Let me emphasize again that I am not promising to support this or to ensure it works with new releases. I'm new to this list... did you submit your patch to the maintainer of UW-IMAP in the past? It could be part of the default release but only activated by some configuration option. No. I did not. I don't even know if the UW-IMAP devleopment team is interested in input of this sort from the user community. I only joined this mailing list recently myself.
