It kind of depends on your user back-end I think. But for example, I'm using MySQL for my user/pass lookups. I would just make a column for pop3s, imap, and imaps and tailor the sql statement in dovecot-mysql.conf to only allow a user to login if 'pop3s'='1'.

My two cents. Tom

hello,

first of all I want to say thanks to Timo for Dovecot 1.0. We've been running it in production at the company where I work and we're very pleased with it. Good job!

One thing that we were wondering about today is if we can disable a certain protocol depending on the mailbox. So for example: user A can access via pop3s and imap, user B can only access via pop3, user C can use only imaps, and so on.

thanks!

PS: am I assuming correctly that IMAP namespaces will make it possible to have shared IMAP folders with Dovecot? I'm still a bit of an IMAP dummy
