Re: maildrop feature request

Hey Sam, et all.

Have there been any news over the years on this front? I.e. the
problem on how to flag mail's as (S)een, (A)nswered, (D)eleted, etc. ?
That seems to pop up every now and then again here, there are probably
countless of blog entries where people complain about that issue :-(

It seems there has even been a patch proposed
once:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.maildrop/4475
Any reason not to merge that or solving that somehow else?

That, plus the issue of the dovecot-authlib patches not having been
merged here and subsequently been dropped from many distros, makes
using maildrop quite difficult. And it seems to me without any
necessity :-/

Sincerely,
Phil.
