Hi,

Does anyone know how to ignore the purge or delete command from the imap clients.

Actually I created a mail archive and using dovecot and so far I am happy with the performance. But the problem I am facing right now is I do not want the users to delete the mail by themselves and want to disable the purge or delete command.

Instead of ignoring some commands, how about just changing the file permissions to read-only? 0.99.10 already should support that well with mbox. Dovecot-list's IMAP archives are also implemented so that the imap user has only read access to everything except for index files which are located elsewhere.
