Not yet, but they will once I add namespace configuration to config
file.
My Dovecot plans go something like:
0.99.9:
- should come out ASAP because of ENVELOPE/BODYSTRUCTURE quoting bug
and SEARCH crashing in some conditions
- I should store UIDs permanently somewhere else besides indexes
- CVS already supports X-UID headers in mbox
- I'd just have to make Courier-like uid database file, also
optionally using filename:2,flags,Uuid or filename,U=uid:2,flags style
- LIST with Maildir is still a bit buggy. Either do a kludgy fix or
rewrite the whole thing once more.
0.99.10:
- Version numbers got too high too soon :) I should rather be in 0.8..
- Now that UIDs are stored permanently, I'm fully free to change the
index file format in any way I want. There's several optimizations that
I have in mind.
- Much more optimized mbox rewriting, which requires a few index file
modifications
- Several mbox-internal headers shouldn't be sent to client. To do this
fast, their locations should be stored to index
- New config file format
- Namespace support
0.99.11:
- hopefully the large changes stop here and I could get towards 1.0..
1.0:
- There hasn't been known bugs for at least a few months
- I've fully audited the source code at least a few times and I'm sure
it doesn't have a single security hole in it :)
1.1:
- Shared folders with ACL support
- quota
