Hmm... About the only mention that I see in the documentation regarding
Outlook is in the imapd.conf(5) man page under the allowallsubscribe
option and in the install-murder document, both of which are, AFAIK,
totally irrelevant to this context.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were an Outlook FAQ specifically targeted
at using backends *other* than Exchange? Does such a thing exist (Cyrus
or not) or shall I perform a checkout on the imapd CVS tree? ;-)
