dovecot - Feb 2012 - Deny create folders

Hi all,

is it possible to configure dovecot in that way that special folders do
not create automatically by some imap clients?

i.e:
outlook or thunderbird creates a folder junk-mail

i would like that such folders are not created automatically or by users


Best regards
Stefan

You could maybe create a global ACL that denies the access to create them. The
clients might not be happy about it though. It's not a very good idea to go
doing things like this I think.

Exactly what problem are you attempting to alleviate? In the short term
you might seriously upset some of your clients and in the long term
cause a stability problem.
