Cheers, -nic Right, but the original poster wants to prevent his users from deleting the spam folder. So he has to change the ACL on the spam folder. -- Nic bernstein...@onlight.com Onlight, Inc.www.onlight.com 219 N.

Hi Andy, Thank you for your prompt reply. How do you create mailboxes now? I used cyradm and createmailbox, e.g. createmailbox user/username@DOMAIN, to create mailboxes. Any idea how to create folder in cyradm? Simply createmailbox user/username@DOMAIN/spam, and then set ACL permissions for user/username@DOMAIN/spam ? Please advise.
