dovecot - May 2004 - 0.99.10.5 release candidate

http://dovecot.org/rc/

Thought I'd still make one 0.99.10.x release now that mbox corruption
problems are (hopefully) fixed.

Please test, if no problems are found this will be the final 0.99.10.5.
Changes since .4:

	+ MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer
	- mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags
	- mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase
	  header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes.
	  Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug.
	- Custom flags couldn't be unset
	- Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails
	  from new/ to cur/.

I have yet to see from my testers if mailbox corruption still occurs.

I have not seen these errors in the log file with this version
(except perhaps the first time people checked their mail after
the upgrade). Thank you!

I keep seeing the following message from time to time:

| May 27 16:04:38 munster imap(xxxx): Our dotlock file /home/xxxx/Mail/mrtg.lock
was modified (1085666677 vs 1085666678), assuming it wasn't overridden
`----

Could it still be a NFS-locking problem?

Dovecot uses: mbox_locks = dotlock

Procmail (on the same server, FreeBSD 5.2) uses:
	 Locking strategies:     dotlocking, lockf()

Procmail (on another server, Tru64) uses:
	 Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl(), lockf(), flock()

I suppose I must use exactly the same locking facilities, but
there seems to be differences between reading and writing a mbox
in Dovecot.
