Hi, I am compiling dovecot and I found dnotify & inotify. What does dnotify or inotify do ? do i need it. Thanks

Why not have a look at the Wikipedia articles on the topic and search onward from there if you want to know more?

They're used to implement IDLE in an optimised fashion. Yes, you do want them.

Correction... you want inotify. Dnotify is deprecated and replaced by inotify.

Does anybody has compilled dovecot on debian etch with inotify? HOW??

Do you want to use Dovecot 1.0 or 1.1rc?

In case of 1.0.10, just take the prepared ready-to-install .deb from backports.

Greetings,

Gunter
