dovecot - Feb 2009 - Dovecot 1.1.11 imap namespaces .... access rights

Hi all,

Is there a way to prohibit users of creating  subfolder(s) under a 
Public Namespace ???

Isn't that (for users (as opposed to admins) to create subfolders in a
public
namespacejust impossible with 1.1.x) ?

You don't need to specify INBOX here, since this namespace has no INBOX.

So you're using multiple UIDs? How about just removing filesystem write
permissions from /home/Public?
