Re: Bug#33378: Release-critical Bugreport for February 22, 1999
Marcelo and I agreed that I should close this bug but I haven't gotten
arround to it yet. Will do so now. The Readme.debian has a note
explaining the change and I think we should assume users will read it.
Also none of the commonly used Windows IMAP clients will have any
configuration problem.
I should however bring up on policy the question of whether I should have
made the change in the first place as it seems to be a little unclear.
