[Dovecot] configure dovecot to read-only ?
Hi,
I like to configure the use of IMAP to read-only on a special backup system. Users should only be able to read archived email, they should not be able to create folders or delete email.
I know how to configure user- or folder-specific acls, but it seems to be a bit complicated to setup a ACL for every user.
Any simple global option available ?
Kind regards, Frank

As far as I know there is no global default ACL for folders. E.g.: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL plugin { # With global ACLs in /etc/dovecot/acls/ directory: acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls }
Then have a "*" or something in it.

But how about to prevent write access on Unix level? Can you mount the mail storage read-only? If necessary on a second mount point.
