Dear Sam, my intention was to get all possible hints before reinventing the wheel. The technical problems you mention, those are the things of interest for me. What about them? What exactly is fairly difficult when talking about folder locking, what exactly is hard when expanding the scope of the numerous functions to 'handling absolute pathnames'? I definitly want to *solve the problems* before starting to code with my text-editor.
Nevertheless, when I started looking at the source code I also had a look on Cyrus Imapd. This software is what I am running right now as it fixed numerous problems I've had with courier imapd. They are: - Moving Shared Folders to the personal Trash folder - Inheritance of Shared Folder permissions for subfolders - Out of the Box working Shared Folders together with MS Outlook As the advantages of cyrus imapd outperform the disadvantages of writing migration scripts for my setup (some hundred users), I hearby step back from my initial goal of improving courier imapd.
