Re: Sharing Folders in Mozilla Mail
Hi, Wouldn't the correct thing to do here be to vote for a Mozilla bug? http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207628 I actually think that 207628 should die as a duplicate of 135977 ;-) (opened a whole year before) http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135977 No problem! I wrote the email before I saw someone else make the same comment later in the thread (I've been on holiday). But: Everybody please vote! If someone has the time, the same bug should be filed against kmail,balsa and evolution as well. Tarjei Bye

If clients really think there is a demand for this, I encourage them to pursue such extentions through the IETF. I actually have the spec that John Myers posted a few IETF back. I believe that both he and Chris Newman haved stated that this private extension to Netscape's server products is (or should be) deprecated. Its a shame that the Mozilla code has left this cruft floating around. Its surprising that Sun/Netscape's client doesn't support the ACL extension given the fact that its author works for them! I agree that any effort in adding this non-standard extension to Cyrus would be misplaced. I'd suggest that if you want to contribute to an open source project, that you add the documented ACL support to any of the clients that you mentioned. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've searched the archives and have not found any e-mails talking about adding the XSERVERINFO extension which is needed to make mozilla mail show the "permissions" button when viewing a folders properties.
