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?
Any idea how other servers do this? I don't think \Noinferiors would be correct, because:
\Noinferiors It is not possible for any child levels of hierarchy to exist under this name; no child levels exist now and none can be created in the future.
Surely it's possible to create mailboxes and it can have child mailboxes in future. It's just that the logged in user doesn't currently have permissions to create such mailbox.
