Again, not a Dovecot issua - but can someone clarify better what IMAP subscriptions (SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE/LSUB) are and what they are used for?
Pretty much the only point of subscriptions is that you don't have to look at all the mailboxes that server has to offer. This is especially useful if you have tens or hundreds of shared/public mailboxes (eg. mailing lists or some news gateway or whatever).
Another advantage of the 1.0 version release is that some distributions might include your 0.9x version instead of the alpha because of the alpha name. A 1.0 version will keep people from installing the older and obsolete versions. And that is important I would think.
What in the world does that have to do with this thread?
