We're currently using UW IMAP and have previously implemented a hack
whereby accounts (based on shell name) are designated captive. For
these accounts, any SELECT of any folder is overridden to SELECT a
read-only shared mailbox with a single e-mail that tells them they're
captive and what they need to do to get out of the situation. To the
client it looks like you've lost all your e-mail and you only have a
single message. In reality, the e-mail is still there and delivery
continues to work. Getting them back to their normal mailboxes is a
quick/easy operation.
Is there any way to do a similar thing in Cyrus IMAP? I'm not
against coding it but I wanted to see if there was a conventional way
of doing this first.
