[Dovecot] Few questions

> They are all printed when opening mailbox:
Yes, sorry. I was confused by Python implementation(which should be 
IMAP4rev1 compliant, but guess it's not) of select() method which only 
returns number of messages in the mailbox. I'll have to reimplement or find 
a patch.

Our users will have quite large mailboxes that can be quite useless without 
effective search. For now I'll use our own index server with combination of 
this Notifier plugin. 

Yeah, nobody seems to like Squat much, custom solution sounds much better. 
Hope you implement it soon ;) 

Regards,

Sebastjan
