Hi,
I have dovecot (2.2.16, see dovecot -n at end) installed to /opt on
CentOS 6 for access on a local network. I would like to create an
archival mail account which will reduce the primary account file size
and still make older emails easily accessible. How can I set specified
folders in this Maildir read-only with ACL? For example, I included this
in the dovecot-acl file to specify protected folders in the archives@
Maildir but it did not work:
"Email 2013/*" user=archives lrs
"Email 2014/*" user=archives lrs
Also tried this on folders without spaces with no success (the folders
were still delete-able by the user via the Thunderbird client). Each
"Email..." folder has several child folders that should also be read-only.
BTW, what is the maximum size for a Maildir that Dovecot can comfortably
handle?
Thanks!
Kepa
