After having spent several days on that one, I guessed it was far beyond me; but I still was too optimistic. ;-) Thanks, Axel

As a miserable attempt to diminish my culpability: since various pages in the wiki explicitely mention the use of ACLs with the mbox format and the CONTROL setting, I first thought in all innocence that I was doing something wrong, then tended to believe that some slight glitch had been introduced with 1.2, and then... That said, I really think it's a great thing to keep the mbox format on a par with the other ones[1]. Even if, of course, it comes with its limitations. So, once again, many thanks. Axel [1] As Mark would say: Compatibility, compatibility ;-)
Re: [Dovecot] System users, mbox format and global ACLs
I had hoped no one would ever try to use ACLs with mbox format.. I don't think I want to try to make it work. And indeed, a file named dovecot-acl-list has now been created under the _mailboxes directory: .. Is such a file supposed to be created there? It's created to mailbox root directory. With all formats except mbox this is fine. It can't be created to control directory, because it's supposed to be shared and different users may have different control directories. But I suppose with mbox it's better to create it to control dir rather than have it show up as a mailbox or use some other weird location for it. http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f3c6cabae3af http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/4c8175452173 Why does the server seem to expect to find a temp file under ~/ _mboxesctrl/.imap? As well as, more surprisingly, under /usr/local/etc/ dovecot-acls? Because it just created a .temp. file and then thinks it's a mailbox. This fixes it: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/bf4f542ec6df And then finally also a caching fix: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/5d1a52e8d320 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I would have tended to believe that it is more a server internal matter than a name having to appear in the namespace. [...] Re-reading the above, I thought it could be worth to somewhat elaborate. Once the file ~/_mailboxes/dovecot-acl-list has been created, it in fact becomes a SELECTable mailbox! And it is impossible to get rid of it, as it is immediately re-created upon a LIST command: # telnet 127.0.0.1 imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.
