I couldn't agree with you more. It *is* up to Tim as to what he
will/ won't do. I never made *any* objection to that. The *only* point
I was making here, is that I wish that I had known that it would
ultimately be *my* responsibility to insure that Dovecot remains
reliable/ useable on my chosen OS (FreeBSD). Given it's wide usage
(FreeBSD) and years of experience with UW-IMAP I felt relatively
confident that Dovecot would follow suit in an effort to remain
competitive with UW-IMAP. In summary; as I clearly stated above;
I wish I had known in advance that it would be ultimately be my
responsibility to insure that Dovecot remained usable on our OS.

'nuff said.
