Jul 24 was also the day I decided to use Dovecot name. It was suggested to me around Jul 18. I'm pretty bad at naming things myself:
I have always been interested how you got around to naming Dovecot.
The name came from Mika Boström in IRC (or SILC probably, because I can't find the discussion from my logs). I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it first, but no-one else came up with anything better.
Is there any other meaning intended apart from what the dictionary says (and which seems little related to imap software :)
Pigeons used to carry mail and live in dovecots, so Dovecot is the house for email :)
