- Description:
- Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server for Linux/UNIX-like
systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent
choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up,
requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.
Dovecot is high-performing, self-optimizing, self-healing, and easily
extensible. It includes IMAP4rev1 and POP3 support. IPv6, SSL and TLS are
supported. It supports multiple commonly used IMAP extensions, including SORT,
THREAD and IDLE.

mail/dovecot24: Install imap-hibernate unconditionally
In Dovecot 2.4.5, upstream updated configure to build imap-hibernate
when kqueue notify is available (commit 6859a3aaf0e1). Since kqueue is
natively supported on all FreeBSD releases, imap-hibernate now builds
unconditionally across all versions.
Remove the obsolete OSVERSION < 1500000 check from the Makefile and
uncomment the imap-hibernate binary in pkg-plist so it gets properly
packaged on FreeBSD 14.
