Hello,

Does Dovecot support the IMAP ANNOTATE Extension RFC5257 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5257? If not, are there any plans to implement the extension? If not, why there is no plan to implement this feature?

Regards Sebastian

not sure about how up2date these are, and whats allready done

And FWIW, that RFC is classified as Experimental. Hasn't been a bunch
of momentum behind it, at least in terms of adoption/implementations.
Mailbox metadata seems to be the more interesting development at this
time (RFC 5464).

Yes, I know, but for groupware collaboration on mails, it is an useful feature. Especially in companies, where an extreme group based workflow is used.

Is this the extension necessary to make Kolab work correctly? I would be interested to see further implementation on that? I think Kolab has the most "legs" at the moment for me to use to extend our services with extra groupware features (I think I would prefer to implement filesystem based storage of DAV files, but apart from that it looks good and seems to be heading in the right direction)

Anyone want to pitch in fund development in this area?

Cheers
