That sounds like the problem indeed. However, that almost seems like a
vital part of a imap/pop3 server here. Doesn't this almost render
dovecut unusable for a large majority of users ?
Surely 'mutt' isn't the only MUA that uses this system.

Have they been broken long already and is there any idea on when they
might be ok again? Thanks.
