Ok, I thought that 'post' pre-dated lmtp and was the IMAP function to write a message into the folder.

i.e. a program like imapsync would need the 'p' permission to write the messages, (but would need other permissions to check for messages, set flags, etc)

I think the only way to add a message to a folder via IMAP is APPEND or COPY, which is what the "i" right controls.

  i - insert (perform APPEND, COPY into mailbox)
