Prayer is a small and fast HTTP to IMAP gateway written entirely in C.
* Uses persistent connections to IMAP server and support servers.
* Target folders remain SELECTed: not a simple-minded proxy.
* Full caching (including sort/thread cache) for each open folder.
* Up to five persistent IMAP connections (typically one or two in use):
o INBOX and one other folder
o Postponed message folder stream
o Preferences stream
o Folder transfer stream
o Various optimisations/sharing to minimise actual IMAP connections
* Directory cache: single round trip to IMAP server for directory listing.
* Works well with UW IMAP server (even using Unix format mail folders).
* Little discernible load on a Pentium III class system running Linux with
5,000 logins/day (400 logins/hour, 150 concurrent logins)
* Uses 10% to 20% of the CPU and 400 MBytes of RAM on a PIII class system
with 23,000 logins/day (1,700 logins/hour, 850 concurrent logins peak)
* Aggressive HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 connection caching to reduce SSL overhead.
* Optional gzip compression of pages tunable by IP address range.
Changes are:
* 0.8.7
* The extended regular expression has been supported on filtering.
* The option to resize images to fit the size of view has been added.
* The previous account is now restored on reediting draft messages.
* The routine of MIME header encoding has been rewritten completely,
and Q-encoding for single-byte locales has been also implemented.
* Strings beginning with "www." are now treated as URI.
* The default WWW browser has been changed to Mozilla.
* The common preferences dialog has been reorganized a bit.
* The remote command operation can be executed without X now.
* Code cleanups for the implementation of SMTP has been made.
* Autotools and libtool have been updated.
* A fix for font loading problem has been made.
* Other minor bugfixes have been made.
For the complete list see ChangeLog.
Changes since version 6.1.2:
- Applied Steffen Esser's fix for a buffer-overflow bug in rfc822.c
- Updated Danish, German, and Turkish translation files.
- Sunil Sheye's SMTP timeout patch.
- Updated Turkish, Danish, German, Spanish, Catalan po files.
- Added Slovak support.
- Configure.in update for autoconf 2.5 (Art Haas).
- Be case-insensitive when looking for IMAP responses.
- Fix logout-after-idle-delivery bug (Sunil Shetye).
- Sunil Shetye's patch to bulletproof end-of-header detection.

fails. The attenmpt to set up STARTTLS can be suppressed with 'sslproto ""'.
ifile is a general mail filtering system which uses a modern-day text learning
algorithm to intelligently filter mail according to the way the user tends to
organize mail.
ifile is different from other mail filtering programs in three major ways:
1. ifile does not require the user to generate a set of rules in order to
successfully filter mail
2. ifile uses the entire content of messages for filtering purposes
3. ifile learns as the user moves incorrectly filtered messages to new
mailboxes
ifile is not dependent upon any specific mail system and should be adaptable
to any system which allows an outside program to perform mail filtering.
What's new?
* New feature: A new header called ``X-Primary-Address'' is now
supported in order to reduce the amount of thinking and planning
ahead you need to do when sending mail to a new correspondent who
may or may not use a challenge/response system like
TMDA. Essentially, this header allows a sender to specify the
address he prefers be whitelisted once he confirms his first
message.
For more information, see the following URLs:
<URL:http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#PRIMARY_ADDRESS_MATCH>
<URL:http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=show&file=faq04.005.htp>
* New feature. You can customize the header lines displayed by
tmda-pending in interactive mode by setting SUMMARY_HEADERS. See
<URL:http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#SUMMARY_HEADERS> for more
information.
* New version of Josh Huber's tmda.el.
* Bugfixes.
Here are the new additions to UPGRADE:
* If you are using customized templates, you should replace
%(envelope_sender)s with %(confirm_append_address)s in your
confirm_request.txt. This is to support the new
<URL:http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#PRIMARY_ADDRESS_MATCH>
feature.
* When doing program deliveries to procmail, you should no longer be
using the ``-f'' option. e.g,
DELIVERY = "|/usr/bin/procmail -f $SENDER ~/.procmailrc-tmda"
becomes
DELIVERY = "|/usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc-tmda"
* contrib/sample.tmdarc has been renamed contrib/sample.config.
with some additions by me. Those running exim are advised to update.
Highlights from ChangeLog
1. Added HAVE_SA_LEN=YES to the OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
3. The code for computing load averages was broken in 64-bit Solaris.
10. Tidies to code for calls to fork(); some failures not logged.
26. Fixed some problems with retrying address errors in remote deliveries.
Local changes (will make next release):
Undo the OS/Makefile-NetBSD split that made it into the main tree. This
causes all manner of breakage.
mail/nail.
Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. It is
intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command
with built-in support for MIME messages. This means it can handle
international character sets as well as attachments. In recent
system environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8 capable. It further
contains some minor enhancements like the ability to set a "From:"
Address.
Supplied (for nail 10.1) by Mishka in PR#19112. Thanks!
This includes the fix for the recent buffer overflow.
Note that IPv6 patch doesn't work, I've not had the time to look into this,
but felt that being a security fix I should get the update done.
Also note that if you define CYRUS_DB_RECOMMENDED in your build environment
it will build using the cyrus mailing list recommended defaults for the
database settings.
Use Apache 2 mime.types file.
Make the differences between the sylpheed and sylpheed-claws Makefile as
minimal as possible. Note that we now use gdk-pixbuf, rather than imlib.
Smoke tested only, IE it works with my cyrus imap server enough to read and
send mail.
mail/isync.
isync is a command line utility for synchronizing a remote IMAP mailbox
with a local maildir-style mailbox. This is useful for working in
disconnected mode, such as on a laptop. Modifications made locally and
remotely are synchronized so that no message status flags are lost.
Supplied by Ceri Storey in PR#19314. Thanks!
Fixed some potential buffer overflows in the sieve code, as well
as a pre-login buffer overflow in the IMAP parsing code.
Backport of a fix for an (unrelated) problem with the
strlcpy implementation.
(/etc -> PKG_SYSCONFDIR and /usr/local -> PREFIX). Also remove references
to the mutt_dotlock program and do not install its manpage because it does
not get installed. Bump PKGREVISION to 3.
Approved by tron, the maintainer.

standard directory share/examples/mutt instead of beeing in

Also avoid direct installation of files under PKG_SYSCONFDIR. Instead
force mutt to install them inside the examples directory and let
bsd.pkg.install.mk copy them to the right place.
Bump PKGREVISION to 2.
Approved by tron (the maintainer) and wiz.

(One more for the emacs-packages meta package :)
