Say like something like when the imapd sees that user joeschmo has authenticated and decides the prefix is user.joeschmoe. If I could hook in there I could override the folder to be user.captive, which already has the 1 message and an ACL for read-only access.I used to do something like that with UW-IMAP at brandeis.edu, so I do see the appeal. Carleton just tends to disable passwords and wait for users to call the helpdesk, which is more realistic at a smaller liberal arts college than at a university.
FWIW: we do the same and we have 40,000 students ... I have to say, though, that we'd be likely to use captive mailboxes if they were an official feature of Cyrus.
