All- I've been tasked with coming up with some kind of method to accomplish the equivalent of a delegate/designate/proxy capability for two people that get their email via IMAP. We have a Vice President that wants her administrative assistant to be able to manage the VP's email (read it, delete messages, etc). The catch is that this needs to happen without the VP giving out her password. I'm planning on experimenting with UNIX groups and/or ACLs to give the administrative assistant the necessary OS permissions to access the VP's folders, along with either symlinks or hard links from the admin assistant's home directory to the folders in the VP's home directory. Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Are there any pitfalls to the approach I'm considering? We're currently running imap-2004g with all MBX (not just INBOX, all folders are MBX). We've been experimenting with the imap-2006 builds, and so far 2006k DEV looks like a winner. We will eventually be migrating to MIX. If we need to go to 2006k and MIX to make this work, we would certainly do that, as we're headed in that direction anyway.
