dovecot - Jan 2006 - Immutable Maildir (or: "I know drag&drop")

Hi,

I'm 'constantly' (every odd month) faced with users happily dragging
around or
(un)subscribing folders in our shared IMAP account. Is there a "clean"
way to
prevent users from doing that when having a Maildir?

Unix permissions probably won't cut the slack since setting any Maildir
(sub)directory to readonly (immutable or chmod u-w ) will probably cause dovecot
to hit a wall at high speed sooner or later (lock files, rotated cache/log
files)

Got any other ideas?

best regards,
Michael Renner

I suppose ACLs will help with this. At least for renaming, deleting and
creating folders in the shared folder hierarchy. Dovecot should have ACL
support within a month :)

I'm not sure about unsubscribing since IMAP ACLs don't support that.
Perhaps I could add a Dovecot-specific extension for that..
