That is a good question. There hasn't been a new version of xmail since around my last upload. At the time Davide planned IMAP support but I don't believe that's going to happen anymore.
I'll send an email to the creator of XMail to see what his plans are. If he doesn't want to continue working on it we should stop supporting it. If he does, I'll push a fix. -Radu On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 1:33 AM, intrigeri <intrig...@debian.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Vasudev Kamath wrote (22 Sep 2013 07:52:26 GMT) : >> I went through the log and prepared an NMU for fixing the policy issue, >> as mentioned in Debian policy document I symlinked the sample folder >> under /usr/share/doc/xmail to /usr/share/xmail and in the maint script >> replaced the path to use /usr/share/xmail instead.
