ok, i thought, stupid me, and read the stuff about acl's and how to generate them. i have a test courier installation (all accounts virtual), using a user id, that doesn't exist on the system. there i generated an acl in a test user Maildir (the test user as well as the maildir have been on that machine before).
if i understand this right, then this process should not be necessary, as the owner has per default all rights on his home directory, but i did it anyway. at first
/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildiracl -compute Maildir INBOX user=myuser
gave an empty line as result, then i changed the owner of courierimapacl to the right user id (i had created the acl as root). after that, i got aceilrstwx as answer. so far, so good (or so i thought), but the problem persists. all logins are ok (so says the log), but the mail clients hang opening the folder.
i also noticed the courierimaphieracl directory, which is empty. i assume subfolder perms are stored there. what am i missing to make this work?
any suggestions welcome,
Wait for my next build. This is what a development release is all about.
Mozilla, as it turns out, implements ACLs, and it found a bug, which I'll fix shortly.
