As far as I know there is no global default ACL for folders.
E.g.: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL
plugin {
  # With global ACLs in /etc/dovecot/acls/ directory:
  acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls
}

Then have a * or something in it.

But how about to prevent write access on Unix level? Can you mount the 
mail storage read-only? If necessary on a second mount point.

[Dovecot] configure dovecot to read-only ?

2010-03-19 Thread Frank Gadegast


Hi,

I like to configure the use of IMAP to read-only on a special backup 
system. Users should only be able to read archived email, they

should not be able to create folders or delete email.

I know how to configure user- or folder-specific acls, but it
seems to be a bit complicated to setup a ACL for every user.

Any simple global option available ?


Kind regards, Frank
