This all sounds pretty complicated to me. Wouldn't it be simpler to update the acl for a folder when a user issues a "select" statement? I see it like this: The command that's most used is probably FETCH. FETCH will only be issued by a client after a SELECT (Correct me if I'm wrong). So, whenever a client issues a SELECT we update the internal mailbox_t structure with the ACL for that mailbox. Ilja
