Client issues and configuration
===============================
It seems to be quite difficult to implement a working IMAP client. Best
Practices for Implementing an IMAP Client
[http://www.imapwiki.org/ClientImplementation] tries to help you with it.

Apple Mail.app
--------------
On Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Mail.app appears to support subscribe/unsubscribe by
right clicking on a mailbox, selecting 'Get Account Info' and selecting
'Subscription List' from tabs. This however doesn't really work with any IMAP
server.
Apple Mail 3.6 (that comes with OS X 10.5 Leopard) supports
subscribing/unsubscribing to folders in the public namespace.
Outlook
-------
* You should enable 'outlook-idle' workaround with IMAP.
* You should enable 'outlook-no-nuls' workaround with POP3.
* Outlook 2003 has problems with older Dovecot's default POP3 UIDL format,
which causes it to download the same mails over and over again if "leave
mails to server" option is enabled. See 'pop3_uidl_format' setting.
* Outlook might not hide or purge deleted items by default. Microsoft has a
how-to that shows how to fix this
[http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP100804201033.aspx].
Outlook Express 6
-----------------
* Using "Headers only" synchronization is buggy and can cause "Message is no
longer available on this server" error when opening a mail. This isn't
Dovecot specific problem, and I'm not aware of any possible workarounds at
the moment for this in server side.
* You should enable 'outlook-idle' and 'delay-newmail' workarounds for IMAP.
* You should enable 'outlook-no-nuls' and 'oe-ns-eoh' workarounds for POP3.
Netscape 4.x
------------
* You should enable 'netscape-eoh' workaround with IMAP, if you still care
about supporting this..
Netscape Mail
-------------
I'm not actually sure what version exactly this refers to.
* You should enable 'oe-ns-eoh' workaround for POP3.
Evolution
---------
* Some versions don't support creating subfolders with mbox format. Evolution
in Ubuntu Gutsy, 2.12.0-0ubuntu5, does support creating subfolders, at least
when the parent folder is empty.
Mulberry
--------
Seems to be OK.
Thunderbird
-----------
* If you're using <mbox> [MailboxFormat.mbox.txt] or <dbox>
[MailboxFormat.dbox.txt],
* You should enable 'tb-extra-mailbox-sep' workaround for IMAP. Bug report
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29926].
* You'll have to disable "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders
and messages" setting from Thunderbird.Enhancement request
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284933].
Mutt
----
* New mutt versions supporting IDLE command will hang with Dovecot versions
earlier than v1.0beta3. Upgrade Dovecot or disable IDLE by setting
imap_idle=no in .muttrc.
* <Using mutt with IMAP> [mutt.txt]
Pine
----
Seems to be OK.
SquirrelMail
------------
* Configuration asks IMAP server name for some workarounds. There has been a
Dovecot option since 1.4.6 and 1.5.1. For olderSquirrelMail versions, select
the "other" option and remove the default INBOX-prefix.
Horde IMP
---------
Dovecot namespace detection works automatically with any recent version of IMP
(4.1+).
RoundCube Webmail
-----------------
Works fine.
@Mail Webmail
-------------
Uses the namespace returned via Dovecot, full support via IMAP/POP3 using @Mail
[http://atmail.com/]. Can also read mailbox quota via the getquotaroot IMAP
command.
