Sorry for coming back so late to this. Both the admin-scenario and the self-scenario are possible. I depends only on the capabilities of IMAP clients and server in use. For admins there is e.g. a command line tool called cyradm, which was written for Cyrus, but I suppose it uses pure ACL related IMAP commands to do the job. For self-service there is e.g. SOGo web client and perhaps this Thunderbird extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/imap-acl-extension/ Best, Gazda --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
