| This, and POP access will work better in next version too. Currently
| Dovecot goes and stores all kinds of cached data to index files even if
| client never uses them. This will change so that data is stored only

| indexes per 10000 mails).

| Anyway, back to coding. I hope to get it usable soon and committed to
| CVS. Before that I'm pretty unresponsive..

Cool!
