password anymore. To do that you'll also need to set nopassword
extra field.

+ IMAP: Added support for UIDPLUS and LIST-EXTENDED extensions.
+ IMAP SORT: Sort keys are indexed, which makes SORT commands faster.
- + IMAP THREAD: Threads are indexed into a dovecot.index.thread file.
- It can usually be updated incrementally, so this makes THREAD fast.
- + Added Dovecot-specific X-REFERENCES2 threading algorithm.
- It's similar to REFERENCES, but it doesn't do base subject merging
- and it sorts the threads by their newest message.
+ When saving messages, update cache file immediately with the data
that we expect client to fetch later.
+ NFS attribute and data caches are are flushed whenever needed.

- Create our own extension: When searching with TEXT/BODY, return
the message text surrounding the keywords just like web search engines

- - dotlock overriding is racy, but it's pretty difficult to fix it. Also
- overriding someone else's dotlock in shared folder isn't possible. These
- could be fixed by having separate lock process running as root, which
- would chown() the file for another uid and then unlink() it as that user.
- One problem with that is that if malicious user sets setuid+execute bits
- on for the file, he could run the file and get changed to the new uid.
- That hopefully shouldn't matter much since the new uid should be user
- with minimum possible privileges. Anyway, optional..
- things break if next_uid gets to 2^32
