Quoting Jens Grüntjes <[email protected]>:
Okay, but on the other hand the user does not know which folder
causes the search to fail leaving him to pick out the folders to
search one by one. Would it be possible to raise an error that is a
little more helpful than "Error when communicating with the
server."? Something like "your search could not be performed due to
access restrictions to your search folders"?
Sort of. The IMAP server would have to return the "NOPERM" response
code when trying to open the mailbox. But most don't (the NOPERM
response code is fairly new). Without it, there is no way of knowing
*why* the mailbox could not be opened.
It looks like your IMAP server doesn't return this information or else
you should have seen the error message "You do not have adequate
permissions to carry out this operation." instead.
You are looking for an option to "search all subfolders that I have
access to". But that is getting *very* specific and advanced -
most users should not be given this option or else it will confuse
them. And adding an "advanced" search mode sounds like a feature
that would need to be sponsored to be implemented.
Okay, that seems a little bit too much to implement.
Especially in light of...
The appropriate way of searching would be to search individually
the mailboxes they have access to. Or better yet: remove the 'l'
ACL right for that user.
Thanks, that was indeed the easiest way.
