Summary     : Secure imap and pop3 server
Description :
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security

in either of maildir or mbox formats.

The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.

Update Information:

- dovecot updated to 2.0.15
- v2.0.14: Index reading could have eaten a lot of memory in some
  situations
- mbox: Fixed crash during mail delivery when mailbox didn't yet have
  GUID assigned to it.
- zlib+mbox: Fetching last message from compressed mailboxes crashed.

- do not enable insecure connections by default
- userdb extra fields can now return name+=value to append to an existing name - script-login attempted an unnecessary config lookup, which usually failed with "Permission denied". 
- lmtp: Fixed parsing quoted strings with spaces as local-part for MAIL FROM and RCPT TO.
- imap: FETCH BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (..)] may have crashed or not returned all data sometimes. 
- ldap: Fixed random assert-crashing with with sasl_bind=yes. 
- Fixes to handling mail chroots 
- Fixed renaming mailboxes under different parent with FS layout when using separate ALT, INDEX or CONTROL paths. 
- zlib: Fixed reading concatenated .gz files.
