[Dovecot] Know when a Folder is Expunged or Deleted

[Alex Baule]

Hi Timo....

I try to do what you said, but i can't delete a folder from maildir, because
the box->opened it's allways true.

This is my hooked function...

static int emexis_mailbox_delete(struct mailbox *box)
{
    union mailbox_module_context *zbox = EMEXIS_CONTEXT(box);

    if (!box->opened) {
        i_warning("Empty Folder...");
        return zbox->super.delete(box);
    }
    i_warning("Full Folder...");
    return -1;
}

Can i do that in "rename mailbox" function ? If Rename has .Trash in the
name, i don't rename and return -1.

Another Question...

i Try too, don't let the user "move" one message from any folder to my
"quarantine" folder, i intercept the copy function with a hook, but i only
can do this, returning -1 in the copy function, but with -1 i will get a
error message in the client like "Mailbox already exist" if i return 0 the
source email is flaged as Trash and don't show anymore in the source
folder... Can i do this, returning some value that works well and dont cause
a client message ?

Tks Timo !
