Is in hg now. Also works with Sieve plugin's matching. I've only been
wanting to implement this for last 5 years.

BTW. Dovecot is about 5 years old now. I'm not exactly sure what
Dovecot's birthday should be. The oldest news items in
http://dovecot.org/oldnews.html are:

Second developers release, user authentication actually works now. At
least with shadow files, not sure about PAM.

I think I figured out an ideal solution for the authentication problems.
See design.txt, all comments welcome. Updated other parts of it as well.

Jun 11 I had the thought about writing my own imapd. Jun 15 apparently I
began coding it.

Jul 24 was also the day I decided to use Dovecot name. It was suggested
to me around Jul 18. I'm pretty bad at naming things myself:

16.06.2002 01:52 <cras> oh - i need a name :) simapd was the only thing
i could come up with
16.06.2002 01:53 <cras> first timapd for tiny, but i don't think it will
be that tiny..

(s=secure in simapd)

oldnews.html has also some funny stuff:

Sun Nov 24 19:39:31 EET 2002

0.99.0 released. All the major features planned for 1.0 are done now.
