Re: [Evolution] Cyrus IMAP, unkilled processes

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj helixcode com>]

Thanks for the beautiful bug report, I'm especially pleased with the txt
file.
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated that ;-)

Anyway, I'm hoping to get Cyrus working soon. But one suggestion before
I go: try with configuring without a namespace? I'm just curious how it
behaves then...

Now that we have a full-time admin, hopefully we'll have Cyrus installed
here soon so that I can play with it a bit.

PS: export EVOLVE_ME_HARDER=1 to get rid of the warning dialog
