I am using Cyrus 2.5.10, and I prefer using the Debian packages.
There is no 3.0 version in Debian at the moment.

So xlist is removed in 2.5, and the new implementation is not there?
So no support in Cyrus 2.5.10.

When I understand it well, this is only used while autocreating and not
for excisting folders. And customers can change this themselve in some
clients.

I am using Sogo webmail, and it lookslike it can change the special-use
of a folder.

Thanks for your help.
