Description
Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildir mailboxes. This IMAP server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files (/var/spool/mail, and derivatives), it was written for the specific purpose of providing IMAP access to Maildirs.
Courier-IMAP implements some extensions to the basic Maildir mail storage format in order to support some additional features, such as folders and "soft" quotas. This is done in a way that's backwards compatible with the standard Maildir users (although, of course, they will ignore the additional features). Other software that understands and uses the same Maildir extensions is SqWebMail, and maildrop.
Features: * Extremely small footprint. * Abstract authentication modules. * Virtual mailbox support. * Pop3 daemon.

Lucas Holt | mail/courier-imap: update to 6.0.6 (#730) Update `mail/courier-imap` from 6.0.4 to 6.0.6. `Makefile` (PORTVERSION)
and `distinfo` only.
## What changed upstream
From `libs/imap/ChangeLog`:
- **6.0.5** (2026-07-24) — fixes undefined behavior when a subject line
is just `re` or `fwd`.
- **6.0.6** (2026-08-02) — `imapd.C (decode_date_time)` date-parsing
fix, plus packaging (`Rules-Requires-Root:`) and testsuite TZ→Olson
changes.
Distfile grew 3494787 → 3748186 bytes.
## Patch set and plist unchanged
Both `files/patch-Makefile.in` and `files/patch-libs_maildir_configure`
still apply cleanly, no hand-edits. `pkg-plist` diff against FreeBSD's
(already at 6.0.6) is empty.
## Verification
makesum/patch/build/fake/package all OK → `courier-imap-6.0.6,2.mport`.

Lucas Holt | mail/courier-imap: update to 6.0.4 (#728) Update `mail/courier-imap` from 5.3.2_2 to 6.0.4. `PORTEPOCH=2` kept.
## Ordering note
**No dependency on `mail/courier`** — the two `CONFLICTS` each other, so
there's no ordering constraint between that PR and this one. Shared deps
are `devel/courier-unicode` (2.6.0, already aligned with FreeBSD) and
`security/courier-authlib-base`. mports `security/courier-authlib` is
**0.72.1** vs FreeBSD's 0.73.1, but 6.0.4's `LIB_DEPENDS` on
`libcourierauth.so` is unversioned; 0.72.1 satisfies it and the port
compiles and links against it cleanly, so no authlib update was needed.
## Deliberate divergences from FreeBSD
- **INOTIFY stays unconditional.** FreeBSD gates `libinotify` behind
`${OSVERSION} < 1500500` — a FreeBSD-15 number that is meaningless on

Lucas Holt | devel/courier-unicode: update to 2.4.0 mail/courier-imap 5.3.2 requires courier-unicode 2.4.0 during configure. Update courier-unicode so the nested rfc822 configure check can pass, refresh the plist for the new shared library version, and bump direct consumers for the libcourier-unicode.so.10 change.
mail/courier-imap also links against gdbm when built with the default options, so declare that dependency for fake-qa.
