I've been tinkering with the IMAP2 stuff with a view to implementing the Maildir (Qmail stylee) method of mail storage. The main issue I had is (apart from time) splitting off the store type from IMAP2. It's the heirarchical type of Maildir with folders that will be an issue as far as I can see. Unless of course I'm missing something.
I've managed to move the specification of which store to use into the configuration XML file, and re-jigged the whole thing so its extensible and configurable form there. I've been a bit stretched over the last month, and now I've got my own company this isn't likely to change for the foreseeable future. I'll post the mods I've done onto my website with an explanatory document if anyone else wants to see it. I'm afraid I'll just be too busy. :o( Shame too, I was really beginning to like playing with the code too. Also the emphasis on getting a working IMAP server has now been removed since I battered courier-imap into submission this week, so I no longer have an excuse to work on it. Anyways I'm rambling. I'll go and post the stuff up tonight.
