1. My brief tests of your (Johannes's) patch on an rc2 base seemed good.

2. I am glad that Timo has committed this functionality to CVS since then.

3. I would be happy to test a later (post-commit) version.

But I notice (1) Timo says "with a few changes" (2) list discussion
suggests that "rc6" seems a little unstable.

Would it be OK if I waited until "rc7" is out?  (Another list thread
seems to suggest that this should be quite soon.)

I'm a newcomer to dovecot so would rather avoid known instabilities
diverting and distracting me.  But if there did happen to be any problems
in this new functionality(*), I would be reasonably confident in helping
diagnose and attempting to fix them on a reasonably stable baseline.


(*) For the sake of mailing-list readership: the subject under discussion
is the ability for "default_mail_env" to be able to specify:
   INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%-2.02i/%u
(our example:  large site, this area split into subdirectories of uid%100
i.e. last two decimal digits of users' uid).
