Description Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2010-07-02 07:26:10 UTC
All the dovecot 2 beta releases support the multi-dbox (mdbox) storage format, but the ebuilds currently don't allow support to be built. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox for a description of the dbox and mdbox storage formats.

It would be nice to get this support in the latest beta ebuild in the tree. See the attached patch for a simple ebuild update to add support for mdbox.

Other relatively new supported formats, such as cydir [1], could be added in a similar fashion as well.

... and I've noticed that the ebuilds had cydir support all along so mdbox is probably the only storage format missing.

Will do so with the next release.  Thanks for the report.
