Agreed.
|
|
|
|
On the off chance this is actually what's approved, "ENABLE" should be a
|
|
slider. '0' (default) is IMAP4, '1' should be IMAP4+UTF8, '2' should be
|
|
the next feature we can't live without.
|
|
|
|
We should allow servers that require clients to support UTF8, although I
|
|
would expect this rollout to take quite a lot of time.
|
|
|
|
I'm not endorsing this idea, but I do think there is an obvious way to
|
|
mitigate the exponential number of feature toggles.
