what i could see as a handy feature for an IMAP server would be a per-
mailbox flag which would prevent IMAP clients from being able to
create, delete, or rename folders. the user would still be able to
work with messages normally, including copying messages from one
folder to another, but because they cannot create new folders, the
temptation to start an archive on the server would be gone. the ISP
would create each user's folder structure when the account is created
(including spam training folders if needed) and the user would be
stuck with this exact set of folders.
I believe this can be implemented with the current versions of Binc:
simply remove the write bits on the IMAPdir directory after creating the
desired structure, including the .binc-subscribed file. You might have
change ownership of the IMAPdir directory if your users have shell access
or any other access that allows them to change file permissions.

THIS would be a strong enough feature for me to switch this ISP (my
client) from courier-imap to binc, along with my own server.
