Hi,one of my customer need a read-only imap account able to access to all boxes on his server. I see no way to do that. I didn't even find a read-only function. I just found it with maildiracl, but it's related to a directory, not to the full box, and I don't know how to define maildir acl roles (user, administrator) with courier-imap. Any idea ?
If the mail accounts are virtual mail accounts, configure virtual shared folders as described in http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.sharedfolders.html#newshared
Configure your authentication module so that it puts the account into a shared group that has readonly access to all mailboxes. There's a built-in "administrators" group that has full read/write access to all mailboxes, using it will be less work, and all mailboxes have this ACL hardcoded. Might be easier to just set the account to be in the administrators group. Otherwise, you'll need to set up a group manually, and set up the ACLs in all mailboxes to give read-only access to the group. You'll probably need to have some auditing in place; since each mailbox owner can modify mailbox's ACLs.
In either case, the administrator needs to use an IMAP client that properly implements IMAP namespaces, in order to see and have access to all accessible accounts.
