dovecot - Jul 2012 - Make a whole mailbox read-only

Hello,
i've found an old thread [1] where it was stated that a whole mailbox 
can be made read-only only setting the according permissions on the 
filesystem side.

[1] 
http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/dovecot at
dovecot.org/2011-12/msg00300.html

i'd like to check if it's still the only option we have with dovecot 
v2.0.18 .

Regards,

Hi,

read-only via filesystem is not a good idea.

We use, on Dovecot 2.1, ACL for create mailbox (Maildir/) as "Archive"
and read-only acess via IMAP, could be a solutions also for you.

Ciao
