You'd want to consider if these count against quota or not (probably not), and if not then you have to make sure they can't access/subscribe to these folders. That's one thing changing to the internal user would handle nicely - no quota issues, no access issues, in fact not even any schema changes or anything, so it could even be added to 2.2 :). The ownership info that's needed to be preserved would be the "user" part of the above folder name (or make it "userid-1234" or whatever). -- Jesse Norell Kentec Communications, Inc.
