[Dovecot] Question about Outlook workarounds
Do the Outlook workarounds in Dovecot 1.x still apply to current versions of Outlook? Or has Microsoft fixed Outlook such that workarounds are no longer needed in Dovecot (and if so, after what version of Outlook can I remove the workaround settings in my dovecot.conf file)?

According to Microsoft, Outlook isn't broken, the rest of the world is wrong... So no, they haven't fixed it.

There's a reason the civilized world calls it "LookOut!"

On the other side of the coin, MS Outlook was designed to work with MS based applications like MS Exchange; something it does extremely well, especially the new Outlook 2010 version. Besides, when you control 90% of the desktop market, the lines as to who is suppose to support whom becomes fuzzy. And yes, I am fully aware of standards. I love standards; there are so many to choose from. The only standard I am concerned with is whether or not something works.
In any case, can anyone specifically state what workaround is required for MS Outlook 2010? I won't have an opportunity until next week to actively try different scenarios to see if any specific configurations must be adhered to so if anyone has any factual knowledge on the subject I would appreciate a heads up.

As of this email, I am using outhouse 2010 with dovecot 2.0.11
I see no workarounds configured at all in 20-imap.conf

In Dovecot v2.0 there are workarounds only for Outlook Express and Thunderbird. The only Outlook-specific workaround has been "outlook-idle" and that was removed in v1.1.
