Logging.  An interesting point.  I see a syslog.php file - so I
presume it's possible to set up logging to an actual
/var/log/owncloud.log and have it rotated as the other logs (Debian
6.0)?

Anyway, in the meantime I found this:

Error 	core 	App "IMAP user backend" can't be installed because it is
not compatible with this version of ownCloud 	June 25, 2012, 14:54
Error 	core 	App "IMAP user backend" can't be installed because it is
not compatible with this version of ownCloud 	June 25, 2012, 14:49

So, back to my original question :)  Will we get IMAP authentication
as part of the base package eventually?  I am not a PHP coder
otherwise I would surely offer up something.   I would like to
contribute if possible though.

Thanks.

Simon
