Summary	0001910: Upstream IMAP server does not include autocreate patches (sponsor required?)

Revision	2014-08-13 14:57 by user2
Description	By default, the Cyrus IMAP server does not auto-create mailboxes. Instead, the mailbox needs to be created by an administrator using the "cyradm" command, e.g.: # cyradm --user root 127.0.0.1 > cm users/test (or something like that) In ClearOS 5, the nasty "kolabd/ldapsync" script handled this. In ClearOS 6, Red Hat included a patch that allowed the auto-creation of mailboxes, so no messy synchronization was required. Unfortunately, this patch has been dropped in ClearOS 7, and the original author has not released a patch for the Cyrus 2.4.x version. There is an alternative patch for this version here (but in 403s): http://blog.vx.sk/archives/13-Autocreate-and-autosieve-patches-for-Cyrus-IMAP-Server-24.html [^] Since we spend most of our development/support efforts on Zarafa, it might be best to find a sponsor for this feature.
