RFC 4314 "If the ACL server implements some flags as shared for a mailbox..." implies that it is OK to share *some* flags and I was not able to find any explicit statement that is illegal to share *all* flags. So, if we share all flags, it is probably RFC compliant. One more example how it is done by others: Oracle Communications Suite can be configured either so that all flags are shared or so that all flags are private: > store.privatesharedfolders.shareflags > If disabled (0), users of a shared folder have their own set of flags > (for example, seen, deleted, and so on) for messages in that folder. > If enabled (1), a single set of flags is shared between all users of each > shared folder. See: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Managing+Shared+Folders @Eric: > I didn't see either in the code the notion of R/RW flags, so we should > conclude it's not there at all. READ-WRITE and READ-ONLY response codes are sent by James. The actual value comes from StoreMessageManager.isWriteable(MailboxSession) which returns always true. This is where I am going to intervene with my ACL mapping. > I read RFC4314#5.2, but I'm not sure to get it right: is "shared multiuser > access" > mandatory to give access to another user to my mailbox, or is it an option. In > other words is "shared multiuser access" synonym to "acl-based access" ? I also had problems to digest that section. It says that "server [= impementation] MAY allow "shared multiuser access" [...] if [...] users have proper access rights. I believe it means that "shared multiuser access" is synonymous to "acl-based access". I propose that in the mapping of ACL to READ-WRITE and READ-ONLY response codes I will use a new method getSharedPermanentFlags(MailboxSession) in StoreMessageManager which will just return this.getPermanentFlags(session), i.e all flags are shared, in accordance with what Norman said. This solution will allow us to make the sharedness of individual flags configurable later in the future.
