Hello list,
In case anyone's wondering why I haven't been replying here much lately:
- I've been busy working (you know, paid work) on full text search indexing redesign. That change was a bigger job than I realized at first (mainly due to virtual mailboxes), so I've been a bit stressed/frustrated over it. I finally finished it today though, so that's over now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7b9978eb6f91
I hope to add Antonio's Solr attachment indexing support to it once I'm a bit less busy. I'm in any case also going to add generic attachment indexing so that CLucene backend can also do it. I've also other work left to do for a few more weeks.
- My new apartment gets too hot (30C) when it gets over about 22C outside, which is almost daily. So my brain melts in the heat and I don't have energy to do much of anything. But I finally yesterday bought an air conditioning machine, which should solve this problem. I don't know why I didn't buy it weeks ago.
So .. I'll try to get back to reading and answering mails next week after I've finished some more work and don't feel like I'm lagging behind too much.

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.
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.

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.

Yeah. There isn't really anything I need now, but there is a bunch of stuff that I want :)

Timo,
Believe me if I had the company and the funds I would head-hunt you :-)
But seriously. Don't worry about it. We are all fine (as far as I can tell) and dovecot proceeds wonderfully.
30 Degrees Centigrade whilst 22 outside? Where the heck are you living ?
