I find that actions which involve spending money typically get delayed while I build up sufficient motivation to overcome the natural desire not to spend money.
So I wonder if you might be helped by having a (PayPal) "Donate" button on the Dovecot website. If forty people donated €10 each, then that might buy a free-standing refridgerative air cooler.
Well, nowadays I have a Dovecot related company, so I don't know if it's a good idea to mix donations with it. Of course, if you have enough extra cash you could buy a Dovecot support contract from my company :) I've also thought that maybe if there's enough interest there could be a "mini-support" contract that costs maybe 100€ and is more or less a donation.
OK, you've already bought an air cooler, so that's not a brilliant example.
But I suspect you will likely need something else later. New laptop, new chair, something like that.
Yeah. There isn't really anything I need now, but there is a bunch of stuff that I want :)
