- Support for non-ASCII mailbox names.

- Global options for the message cache and the certificates were added.
- Bug fix; questions for certificates are not asked while in daemon mode, but
instead an error is printed.
* A different format is used for the returned structures of the searching
methods, due to the introduction of multiple mailbox searching and
meta-searching, and thus any configuration files that rely on them should
be updated. Consequently, the processing and fetching methods have been
also enhanced and the relevant documentation updated, and while these
changes are backwards compatible, an update of the configuration file is
still recommended.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
While here add PKGMANDIR support.

in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Changes since last packaged version:
Version 1.0.1 - 22 August 2004
------------------------------
- Bug fix; in some cases processing of messages with an empty body caused
failure.
- Bug fix; an invalid namespace prefix was inserted in mailbox names of some
mail servers.
- Unique message identifiers are now used by default, instead of message
sequence numbers, when accessing messages in a mailbox.
- Sequence set ranges are generated and sent to the mail server instead of
enumerations, when this is possible.
- The client now limits the length of the command lines it generates to
approxinately 1000 octets, by splitting the request into multiple commands.

considered.

Lots of changes! The main one being that imapfilter is now

file itself is a Lua script so your old configuration files must
be rewritten.
While here claim stewardship.

IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail
servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Based on
the user defined filters it checks messages residing on a remote IMAP
mailbox and processes them in various ways.
