IMAP/POP traffic accounting

[Eddy Beliveau]

Hi!

By browsing archives, I find this current thread.

We are using cyrus-imapd 2.2.13 and it works well  :-)

I would also like to add statistics to pop3d.c

Can you please provide the patch that was used to get this:
Nov 30 16:27:31 mail1 pop3[19762]: stats: t63877a 8 663454 0 0

It would be valuable to our helpdesk staff.

Many thanks,

Have a nice day
Eddy
