Hi all
How may I disable message deletions via IMAP for some or all of my users? I read on the net that a possible solution would be to use the ACL IMAP plugin. But the examples I found were not so clear to me. We do not use shared mailboxes or namespaces. Only simple virtual users, each with it's own private mailbox. I would like to use the global acl file both for administration simplicity and because as I understood, global acl enrties take preference over any user setting.
In the ACL page example there is a line:
- user=foo lrw
But in the comment it tells that doing so, every user' mailbox would be shared with the foo user, with the lrw permissions. Which is not what I would want. I don't need to share anything, just to restrict what the user, foo here, can do on his mailbox.
Thank you, Luigi
Hi!
Folder sharing won't actually happen unless you have a shared namespace.
And you can also use owner which refers to the mailbox owner, so
- owner -te
which will mean that the owner is not allowed to expunge or write \deleted flag.
