Hello,
I'm trying to manage the ANNOTATEMORE /motd as 'cyrus' user but the server returns 'permission denied':
02 SETANNOTATION "INBOX" "/motd" ("value.shared" "Its sunny outside!") 02 NO Permission denied 03 SETANNOTATION "/" "/motd" ("value.shared" "Hello") 03 NO Permission denied
There may be a tip (maybe with ACL) but I don't get it.
/motd is a server annotation, not a mailbox annotation:
02 SETANNOTATION "" "/motd" ("value.shared" "Its sunny outside!")
I'm wondering also if the ANNOTATEMORE /motd is displayed in the same way as the configdirectory/msg/motd (mentioned in _Managing IMAP_, p. 119).
Yes, its the same. This particular annotation just reads/writes to configdirectory/msg/motd
<excerpt>
"If the configdirectory/msg/motd exists under the config directory, imapd sends the first line in the file to the client as an ALERT message when a connection is made. Many clients handle ALERTs poorly (by connecting more frequently than is necessary and thus displaying the alert for each connection and annoying user) or not at all".
</excerpt>
Thunderbird supports this MOTD poorly as described above - the ALERT is sent each time a mailbox is opened and it is very annoying.
But Thunderbird supports it. So I believe it could display the ANNOTATEMORE /motd, maybe differenlty from configdirectory/msg/motd.
Has anybody experimented this annotation ?
Thanks for your contribution.
