I've thought about adding checkpassword support for dovecot-auth actually. For now you could support auth binds with PAM and pam-ldap module.
BTW. 1.0-test21 has passdb checkpassword support. Still need userdb though.
No, at least not yet. It's pretty nice format, but for being named IMAPdir I think it should have been designed to be 100% IMAP-compatible.
The problem is that with IMAPdir (and Maildir++) RENAME isn't atomic when it has to rename subfolders. Also renaming INBOX can be problematic to implement atomically (the INBOX must never be lost).
i don't understand as well, i'll try to find document about that.
It's not too bad, I just think the IMAPdir name is wrong in that case :)
Pretty much the only way to do this with UNIX would be to use real directories to implement hierarchies rather than a special '.' separator in file/directory name. I wonder why Andreas didn't do this.
IMAPdir use real directory to implement hierarchy, if i create a folder, it is created in IMAPdir directory like that : IMAPdir \_INBOX \_TestFolder
so the IMAPdir use real directory and not special '.' separator...
But when you create a folder under TestFolder? That's created as "TestFolder.SubFolder" in the root dir, not as "TestFolder/SubFolder". At least that's how bincimap.org web page explains it.
