Attached are two patch-files that will change the Netnews dot delimiter
to a slash in Cyrus. I created these patches from the sources for
2.0.11 (you shouldn't need 2.0.11 to apply it though). The first file
(imappatch) needs to be run in the IMAP directory of the Cyrus sources.
The second file (libpatch) needs to be run in the lib directory of the
Cyrus sources.
User mailboxes will act differently with the patch applied. Dots are
now allowed in usernames, but not slashes.
Example of a mailbox listing:
cyradm> lm
user/david.fuchs
user/david.fuchs/subfolder
I've tested this patch with Microsoft Outlook Express and Pine as mail
clients (POP3 and IMAP). Everything seems to work fine. I'm not a
professional developer, so if there are any problems please mail me.
