Thanks, You want: sam list.foo -charlie rwsip -rwsip removes those permissions from the stored list, so that nothing is said about them, neither good "grant rights" nor bad "remove rights". -identifier creates an entry for removing the rights. IMAP4 ACLs are currently defined in RFC 4314, "IMAP4 Access Control List (ACL) Extension"; that obsoletes RFC 2086, which is the version which Cyrus supports (TTBOMK). RFC 4314 section 2 contains a lengthier and clearer explanation of how access rights work and combine than the old text in RFC 2086 section 3, but either cover this topic. I recommend trying 4314 for the explanations, but be aware that the flag explanations later don't quite match Cyrus. -- "Everything has three factors: politics, money, and the right way to do it.
