[Dovecot] \HasNoChildren versus \Noinferiors in ACL plugin and no CREATE permission

[Heiko Schlichting]

Hi,

using ACL plugin with dovecot 1.1.1 I expected that a Maildir was listed as

    * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "Foldername"

if "create" (k) permission is not set in ACLs and there doesn't exists any
subfolders. But to my surprise, dovecot gives the following output:

    * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Foldername"

Therefore the client (here: SquirrelMail) does not know about the inability
to create subfolders and offers "Foldername" in the selection for the
parent folder.

If there are exists already subfolders of "Foldername", dovecot has to use
\HasChildren and not \NoInferiors. But in other cases \NoInferiors should
be the correct answer and not \HasNoChildren. Or am I totally wrong?
