[Dovecot] Patches
As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches:
- segfault when user home directory is empty
- Proper PAM service name
- Make suid work on 2.6 kernels
Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a 0.99.11 soon?

The only other patch we're running is the one by Bernard Blackham (it's in the list archives) so that "Deleted" and "Draft" messages are handled properly in mbox files. It's a fairly important patch, and it'd be really great if it was in the Debian package.
Cheers Grahame

Timo clarified that the patch was only necessary for mboxes, not maildirs so part of it wasn't applied. Attached is the correct patch for mboxes only. Without it, users will get very confused very quickly so it'd be good to see it in the Debian package. :)
For new installations, it's fine, but if you upgrade to a version with this patch, users will discover all their Draft messages as Deleted and all their Deleted messages as Draft. I have a small utility to reverse these flags in an mbox if anybody is interested.
Thanks,
Bernard.

I'd definitely consider this to be a good idea, even if I do not depend on it if Jaldhar adds all fixes manually back to the Debian package. ;)
