I considered that but I cannot be sure that there will just be one group. I am trying to recreate a public folder structure that is being used fro work flow management and is implemented using Exchange. Right now every user in the company has read/write access to every public folder and I was told to change that on the IMAP server so there may be two or three different groups. To be honest I am not very optimistic about the prognosis since I have to use Outlook as the IMAP client. No matter, that -- Even if the project here flops I know enough now that I can migrate other clients from courier to dovecot when the time comes. That alone made the time worth it. -- Stephen Carville
