This function implements folder access control lists
(ACLs). Access control lists define who is allowed to do
certain operations on a folder, or on messages in the folder.
Folder ACLs are implement only for IMAP accounts on IMAP
servers that implement access control lists. This function
will fail if folder
is not a folder on an IMAP server that supports access
control lists.
This function computes application's access rights on the
folder. If this
function succeeds (this function may fail if the requesting
client does not have the required access to the folder),
rights will be
initialized by a text string that contains a list of
character which describe the requested client's access rights
on the folder.
At this time, the following access rights are supported:
a”Administrator access: view and change folder access control lists.
c”Create subfolders.
e”Expunge deleted messages from the folder.
i”Insert, or add messages to the folder.
l”List, or view the folder's existence. If a folder
does not have the “l”
access right, the server will not include this folder
when it's asked to list all folders in the folder
directory. However, if the “r” access right is
present, the folder may be opened if the folder's name
is known.
r”Read, or open the folder. An attempt to open the
folder will fail without the “r” access right, even if
the folder's name is known.
p”“Post messages” to the folder. This access right is currently listed in the ACL specification; however its intention is not clear, and most servers do not do anything useful with this access right. It is listed here for information purposes only.
s”Allow changing the read/unread status of messages in
the folder. The server will not automatically clear the
unread
message status flag on messages after they are read, or
let this status flag be explicitly changed, without the
“s” access right.
t”Allow tagging of messages as deleted or undeleted.
The server will prohibit changing the messages'
deleted
message status flag without the “t” access right.
w”Allow changing the draft, replied, and marked message status
flags. The server will not allow changes to these flags
without the “w”
access right.
x”Allow this folder to be removed. The server will not
this folder to be deleted without the “x” access right.
