Hello,
What is the recommended way for dealing with shared mailbox regarding permanent flags?
Specifically, I have a public mailbox accessible to anyone, however only the owner of the mailbox can store flags permanently.
Anonymous clients can access such a mailbox properly, but because they don't have write access as far as flags go, the messages are always marked as "unseen" or whatever state the owner of the mailbox has its messages.
I went through RFC 2180 "IMAP4 Multi-Accessed Mailbox Practice" and RFC 2683 "IMAP4 Implementation Recommendations", but I'm still very confused about how to handle this situation...
Is it possible to signal to the client to keep track of the message's flags?
Do I need to provide RFC 2086 "IMAP4 ACL extension" to handle this?
In IMAP4 ACL parlance, an anonymous client have only lookup (l) and read (r) rights. And none of the others. Specifically no 's' 'w' and 'd'.
TIA.
Cheers,
PA.
