Hi Michael,

yeah seems relative new, but i cant reach the coder
for working out the bugs ( or my understanding of them )
perhaps we would pay for fixing them if it results in a usable
backport ( or lets say addition to horde 3.x )

 If this suits your purposes,

ok i understand, didnt know this
in detail
could only test push mail with z-push, which works fine

as time to alpha releases horde 4
a complete snapshot tar from the webmail project
including all substuff would be much more easy to install, as checking out
code from git and adding pear channels etc
and should result in a bigger test community

but anyway, i respect your code deployment,
you may have allready discused good reasons on how to release

thx for your hard work
