After I installed mailutils-imap4d and configured Thunderbird for localhost mailserver, I noticed that Thunderbird started to work very slowly. Later I noticed that it shows all folders of my home directory /home/USER as subfolders of the localhost IMAP server. That behavior is bizarre, not only because it slows down Thunderbird, but mainly because this opens several kinds of security risks: - Deleting folders in /home/USER by incident (I really started to delete them, not understanding that I am deleting actual /home/USER files!) - Undesired reveal of directory structure in screenshots - Probably others The second item is really bad. Probably, the same concern is for mailutils-pop3d package.
