dovecot - Mar 2007 - How to Prevent IMAP Folders being moved, deleted or renamed

Hello I use exim/dovecot combination for mail delivery and pickup and 
I'm wondering how I can prevent users from moving, deleting or renaming 
particular IMAP folders. I use the MailDir mailbox format.


The reason for doing this is that I have some special exim filters which 
deliver mail to specified directories. I don't want users to be able to 
change these folders because it will mess up the filtering.


Also my mail client (Thunderbird) doesn't check the filter folders 
automatically is there an option in dovecot that lets you send 
notification to clients when new messages arrive in certain folders.

I think ACL plugin with global ACL rules would do that. Give the owner
all the permissions except "delete". http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL

With Thunderbird 1.5 and later, you can right click on the folder and 
choose "Properties". The checkbox "Check this folder for new
messages"
in the dialog is what you are looking for.
