I see now that the warning applies to change from altnamespace to not. I already use the altnamespace, but I want to change to the unix hierarchy separator where it says the altnamespace doesn't matter. Does that mean it will keep the same hierarchy? Steve On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 6:15 PM, Stephen

Yes, if you change either it will force a re-download of messages and resync of mailbox listing. I would recommend setting it to the old values if you upgrade an existing server. You can also do something like we did at FastMail - set up a new hostname with the new defaults using per-service imapd

While we are talking about it, can this just be switched on the fly if someone is using the "." namespace? Does it only affect the admin in that you have to type user/mailbox now instead of user.mailbox, or does the change also affect users? Steve On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 4:36 PM, Janos Dohanics

Hi Walter, The only way to remove attachments is to replace the message with an edited copy of the message. You can't alter emails in an IMAP mailstore once they are delivered. At FastMail we're using the attached Perl module to strip attachments from emails for our "remove attachments" feature.

Default value changes in Cyrus 3

As I'm preparing to move to Cyrus 3, I have noticed that unixhierarchysep (/) is now "on" as well as altnamespace is now "on". I have mostly been using default settings in previous versions, and I guess one shouldn't change sensible defaults willy-nilly, so I assume developers had good reasons to
