That won't work (and doesn't make much sense).

There is no good reason for someone to be mucking around in the filesystem underneath my mail server. You can access the mail via IMAP [which is why you have an IMAP server!] - via which your actions can be audited, sanitized, and made safe for concurrent actions [ none of which is possible if some rogue user is dorking the filesystem ]. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
