[Dovecot] Preventing IMAP folder deletion?
Hi!
I'm running postfix with dovecot using mysql for user accounts, with Outlook being used as the IMAP mail client. I'm using a mail delimiter ("+") and mail automatically goes to a Spam folder as part of spam filtering with amavisd and spam assassin. It's configured so that folders won't automatically create; if the folder isn't there mail delivers to the inbox (so that spam doesn't create extra folders).
the problem I ran into today is that a user deleted the Spam folder. While recreating it isn't that hard, is there a way I can prevent them from being able to delete specific folders in IMAP?
In squirrelmail I can create "system" folders that the user can't change or delete, but that's client based. Since I don't see that ability in Outlook, can I somehow configure dovecot so the user can't delete specified folders?
Thanks
Rick

Never tried it personally, but what about an ACL denying the "folder can be deleted" attribute?

I meant "mailbox can be deleted" attribute "x" or "delete".
