Ken,
Many thanks for the info. However, does it mean that users can not create subfolders beneath the shared folder?

Right, if they don't have the 'c' right, they can't create subfolders.

FYI, there is an update to RFC 2086 in the works which splits the ACL for creating and deleting mailboxes into 'k' and 'x' respectively ('c' becomes a macro for 'kx') and splits the ACL for deleting and expunging messages into 't' and 'e' respectively ('d' becomes a macro for 'te'). This will give much finer grained control to admins. I have a patch for most of this laying around, I just need to update it to the latest version of the draft.

Hi Everybody,
We are creating shared folder for groups of people and in general they like it. We are giving members the following right:
lrswipcda

So that each member of a shared folder can delete mail.

However in some instance, naive users are also deleting the folder causing lot of grief. Apart from appointing one person who can delete the folder, i.e. everybody gets lrswip and giving one person the following lrswipd, is there anything that can be done to solve the problem?



The 'c' right is the one that allows creation/deletion of a folder, while 'd' allows deletion of messages. So simply remove the 'c' right from the careless users.
