I'm sure you're just kidding, but I kinda have to agree here. There are some improvements that could be made in the system.
- The whole *BSD poll/kqueue issue. From what configure says, kqueue shouldn't ever show up.
I'm not sure what you mean by this.
- POP? It gets compiled in automatically, yet doesn't start. Doesn't bother me, as I'm just using IMAP, but it doesn't seem logical. If POP doesn't start by default, I wouldn't think it would be compiled in by default.
Well, I think compiling and using by default are different things. Compiling everything by default doesn't really hurt anything, but using all of them by default does.
I can't really think of how this could be improved. I think no matter what change I do people will start complaining.
- Config file. It flows well, but it's freaking huge.
Yea. For v2.0 I'm planning on splitting it up. I already once did such a split and asked people's suggestions about that (IIRC).
3a Quotas. Where are you told that to enable imap quotas, you need to say: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota Maybe I missed it, but I modified horde to manually get the quotas because I couldn't find or figure out how enable it in dovecot.
I'm hoping to get http://wiki.dovecot.org/NewIndex into a usable state some day and it should hopefully be easy enough to install Dovecot into a fully usable state. :)
Anyway there already is wiki -> Quota page.
Sorry, one more .... courier-imap is easier to configure, no?
Yes on FreeBSD, you have IMAP/POP and SSL config files.
I think SSL certificates are generated by most Dovecot binary packages, so this is a FreeBSD port-issue I think..
