Hi,
I'm the Debian maintainer of UW-Imap. Like many I'm somewhat frustrated with the limitations of it so I am very pleased to see that Dovecot is becoming a strong alternative. I have uploaded packages of 0.99.4 to the Debian unstable distribution (sid). Because this is a new package it has to be added by hand so it may be a while before it shows up in sid. In the mean time, I have made the packages (also for stable or woody) available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ Debian users, please take a look and give me some feedback.
Unfortunately much to my embarrasment I can't currently use dovecot on my own account. I get a meesage like this in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 18 09:01:31 samadhi imap(jaldhar): Error indexing mbox file /home/jaldhar/mail/inbox: LF not found where expected
The mbox in question is about 17MB and opens fine in uw-imapd. Any clues?
