Hi,

while updating packaging for Courier in Debian, I realized that FAM has been requested for removal [0], which I fully expect to happen for the next stable release. I'll change the dependencies to gamin.

However, at the moment, gamin is is limbo as well and currently marked for autoremoval. I very much hope this will somehow resolve in time for the stable release. But note that gamin is not aging very well and I can imagine it eventually getting abandoned as well. In the worst case rather sooner than later.

Would it be feasible to add support for inotify in courier-imap? That seems to be the state-of-the-art alternative. I'm open to other options, but mainly want to bring this up for discussion.

Best Regards

Markus
