[Dovecot] Still weird UID ordering issues with maildir

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Timo,
    Sorry to be dense here, but how does one create a rawlog?  I read
the docs in INSTALL and on the dovecot docs website.  It says that
rawlog capability is just there in 1.0alpha, no special compile flags
needed.  I created a dovecot.rawlog directory in my homedir, then
stopped and restarted my imap client (pine).  Nothing appears in
this directory.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.
