Hi!

I don't know much about IMAP (yet), but I know that unlike POP3 it is a
general file access protocol. We would like to install an imap server on
our box, but there is an important security consideration:

Is it possible to restrict user to only her home directory (or even
better - her Maildir), so that she will not be able to access any files
below that directory?

If so, how is that done? With chroot(), or controlling where a user may
chdir() in userspace during the session?

If not, how much work would that require to implement? Would that
conflict with the general design or would it only mean inserting a
single chroot() call in right place?

thanks in advance,

Marcin
