the additional benefit is a pleasant and helpful user community. It's probably because it isn't well known yet so let's hope that it remains a relatively unpublicized treasure lest Timo turn into the second coming of Mark Crispen.
Heh :) I'm not changing my ways, I've already years of experience with authoring more or less popular software, irssi most notably. Only lack of time makes me unresponsive and ignore/delay replies.
I don't yet really even want Dovecot to be too well known, it's not ready yet. When 1.0 comes (this spring I hope) I'll start publicizing it more. After that I should only need to add new features - existing ones should be perfect and better than anyone else's ;)
I'm just hoping that Timo gets the mbox support fixed RSN.
What's broken?
something to do with indexing. I know I was triggering a bug which caused huge amounts of CPU load every time you did anything with the mailbox. If you've got the energy, I'm sure he could use the help. I'm up to my eyeballs in antispam (camram) work.
I'm rewriting indexing code. Actually all that code finally seems to be written, now it's just making sure it all works. And then I'll have to rewrite maildir and mbox syncing to work with the new code, that'll take some time too..
mbox also has problems with mailboxes that often get empty, such as drafts.
