Debian Packaging
================

Please read /usr/share/doc/courier-base/README.Debian for more information
about the packaging of the Courier Mail Server suite.


Automatic Emptying of the Trash
===============================
By default, Courier empties the trash after 7 days.  To disable this behavior,
comment out "IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7" in /etc/courier/imapd.


Default Maximum Number of Connections
=====================================

The default value for maximum number of connections from the same IP address
(MAXPERIP in /etc/courier/imapd) has been raised to 20.  This helps to avoid
mysterious errors with current IMAP clients (e.g., saving sent mails into the
Sent folder fails).  For example, Mozilla Thunderbird uses 5 connections by
default.
