Hello,
I have my mailserver (exim4) and imap-server (courier-imap) settings stored in a database for easy maintenance. This setup works fine, but I must prevent users from renaming shared folders, otherwise the maildir name gets changed and exim can't deliver the messages.
The solution I now have is to use an acl without 'x' on my non-mutable folder and with 'x' in subsequent folders.
Non-mutable:
owner aceilrstw anyone ceilrstw
Mutable:
owner aceilrstwx anyone ceilrstwx
#shared myfolder (non-mutable) test (mutable)
The drawback is that I can't (re)move any mutable folders ... according to Thunderbird the mailserver responds with that it cannot move folders to a different account (trash). Moving it to a different folder under #shared is also not possible.
Is there a workaround for this kind of problem?
An other solution, more user friendly, would be if courier-imap would call (hook) a script with params when a foldername was changed. The script could adapt the database setting accordingly
It turns out that you cannot move shared folders to the Trash folder of the Inbox. The shared folder could reside on a different partition and it is not possible to move between partitions. At least that is what I found googling on the subject.
Why not copy the folder and then remove the original, that way it doesn't matter where the folder resides.
I'm still interested to know if there is some kind of hook I could use to call a script to update my database when a folder is renamed.
