[Dovecot] Clients to manage ACL
Hi,
is there any list with clients which support setting ACL on imap-mailboxes?
Up to now, a only know about KMail and imapACLM.
Thanks, Martin

great, Mulberry works quite well, even though it seems a bit outdated.
Is there also any webmail solution?

Since few clients support ACLs and even fewer do it right (and Horde has all sorts of its own problems), I wrote a web client and a system daemon to handle ACL manipulation.
However, the daemon only works on Solaris with real system users (not mysql userdb or etc). Our environment was one of real users that can log into the machines, so it takes advantage of filesystem ACLs for security in the shell/sftp/etc contexts. So it's a limited audience. If anyone is interested I can probably get around to finalizing some debugging and putting it up on the 'net in mid-May. I might also be willing to generalize it to non-system user environments.

this sounds interesting. I'd really appreciate if you could get your work published. Perhaps we could it addapt so that it fits our needs, since we currently have a virtual user environment based on ldap.

I don't know what kind of things you're doing with real users, but with v2.0 you can do via unix socket:
userdb lookup for specified user (well, this works work v1.x too). This also allows getting a list of user's ACL groups (acl_groups extra field).
get a list of all usernames

This is currently being worked on for Thunderbird - I don't know if it will make it into 3.1, but it is coming, hopefully sooner rather than later...

Thunderbird will soon support that, patch already in review queue now.
Hi Nikolay,
Do you know if it will make it into 3.1?

Hi Charles,
Don't take my word on that but from what I see it should make it into 3.1. In reality this depends on when MoMo decide to release 3.1 and I highly doubt this happens in summer 2010, final release probably be ready at fall. Minus few months for release candidates and you've got feature freeze date.
