[Kolab-devel] Proposal to add "autocreate" patches to Cyrus IMAP

[Fabio Pietrosanti]

I found those patches on the net which seems very stable and well tested.

- Autocreation of Cyrus INBOX:
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/

- Autosievefilter
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autosievefolder/

Let's consider what Autocreate could do for Kolab Project:
What if kolab will stop creating the mailbox on every kolab master/slave
server and only create it dynamically?
How much complexity could be removed from the account creation process?

Let's consider what Autosievefilter could do for Kolab Project:
Why not automatically send to "Spam" folder email tagged as SPAM by
amavis/Spamassassin by default?

Notice that Linux Debian include by default autocreate + autosievefilter
patches in their Cyrus IMAP package.

This would be important bit to:
- remove complexity
- save time to system administrators

Obviously only if this does not break anything and is considered usefull
by others.
