retitle 392823 ITP: prayer -- fast IMAP-based web mail system with few dependencies
owner 392823 Magnus Holmgren <magnus@kibibyte.se>
thanks
I've sent some questions and comments upstream. Most notably,
* Prayer assumes that folders can't contain other folders, even if
the IMAP server supports it. It appears that Dovecot with Maildir
doesn't work very well with Prayer - all folders are treated as
directories. Directories are containers for folders and other
directories, but can't contain any mail. I don't know if this is
an unavoidable problem with libc-client, or just a design mistake
in Prayer. Anyway Prayer probably works best with UW-imapd.
* Currently, there is no IPv6 support. However, prayer-session uses
libc-client to connect to the IMAP server, and IPv6 support can be
acheived there by building with the version of libc-client currently
in experimental.
* The modified UTF-7 encoding isn't supported, which means that non-
ASCII characters in folder names won't work.
