Hello,
I keep finding myself in a corner with a user. He uses mail extensively, which is fine, he has a huge archive of own professional correspondence, which is fine, but he uses mail folders as if they were regular system folders, with very long paths, and keeps renaming them and moving them around, daily, breaking the mail index and ultimately wasting his own time looking around for lost mail. His Inbox holds a gargantuan of subfolders, causing both the client and the server to overwork each time he opens the mail. His Archive is a maze of subfolders with repeating names. I advised him almost daily across 20 year on how to stay organised, but he keeps abusing the service.
I want to help him by limiting what he can do with folders. This is the agenda:
the Archive is the only place where he can create folders;
folder names have a maximum length of 20 characters.
Can I do that with Dovecot?
