Hi,

I've some problems to get folder ACLs working with Dovecot. I've defined some folders (like drafts, spam etc.) for every user and created a dovecot-acl file in every folder so that users can not delete or rename these folders but this does not work as expected.

Config

Debian Lenny 5.0 Dovecot 1.0.15

dovecot.conf

protocols = imap protocol imap { listen = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx }

disable_plaintext_auth = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " ssl_disable = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%Ld/%Ln

namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes }

mail_privileged_group = vmail

protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl }

protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com hostname = hostname@example.com mail_plugins = cmusieve }

auth_username_translation = %Lu auth default { mechanisms = cram-md5

passdb pam { }

passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf }

userdb passwd { }

userdb static { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes }

user = root

socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } }

Folder structure

(For dovecot-acl)

/home/vmail/example.com/user/.Spam/dovecot-acl

dovecot-acl contains

owner lrwstiek

For me the config looks OK and I can't find an error...

When I change the dovecot-acl to "owner l" for example it seems that this change has no effect.

Are there an error in my setup?
