Description Jörn Dreyer 2005-11-18 06:13:52 UTC

when using cyrus in an imap envirenment it is extremely helpful to hav cyrus
automagically create inboxes (and not only mailboxes), so a new user may receive
emails instantly.

I hacked at the cyrus-imap-2.2.12-r3 ebuild and added the patch to the files
directory. Maybe this can be included in the next ebuilds by default?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Well the patch simply is not yet applied by the standard ebuild ;)

Actual Results:  
It did not work :(

Expected Results:  
It should have recogized the option "autocreateinboxfolders:
sent|drafts|spam|templates" ...

Alternative patch to cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-r3.ebuild

This is an alternative patch (the one from from the dupe bug). It has the advantage of using SRC_URI rather than sticking the autocreate patch in the portage tree. Plus it is a patch, as the devs regularly remind us that they prefer. Its USE flag is "autocreate" since that is the common name by which the patch is know. However, we might consider integrating it unconditionally and avoiding the addition of a new useflag, as it has not effect unless the feature is turned on in /etc/imapd.conf.

Comment 7 Mike Nerone 2006-01-19 09:08:30 UTC

By the way, that last patch also removes the silly double-"ssl" in IUSE caused by setting it explicitly *and* inheriting ssl-cert.

Should be fixed in 2.3.7.
