Re: [Dovecot] imapc / namespace question

I've got two questions regarding imapc and namespaces:

1. Is there a way of stating, that I only want part of the hierarchy on the end of an imapc connection to be available here? My "problem":

hg has now imapc_list_prefix.

2. "Private" namespaces only make sense, if location contains something user-specific like "%u" or "~". Is this correct? If yes: Is there some other way to make something like an imapc connection only appear for one user, if there is nothing in the location or imapc_user to denote the user it belongs to and hence I cannot use "private"? The only way I see currently is to use "shared" and set up ACLs to forbid all users except one to access the namespace (which gets slightly ugly as I have to use global ACLs, as -- I think -- there is no way to store ACLs for an imapc storage).

Well, it's not necessarily a problem to use a private namespace for anything you want. If you set it hidden=yes (probably should do anyway) then IMAP clients won't even know that you've set it as private. Internally the main difference between private and public namespaces is the default ACLs.
