Thank you all for these infos.
Has anyone thought to build a php module or extend the imap functions,
to directly integrate every function cyrus, imap and sieve need into php
?
As you said, I'm also working on a cyrus/ldap tool. Maybe we could share
things, or work together and release a good product ?
This is out of the scope of this ML, but mail me back you are interested
(all of you reading the list :)
about the ACL problem, I was aware of this. a solution could be to apply
every rights to the cyrus user at the mailbox creation. do you think it
could be dangerous ? why is cyrus so restrictive by default ??
Cheers,
Prune
