Tru,e but I think we need to distinguish between what is "allowed" (ACL) vs 
what the size limit is (APPENDLIMIT). As others have noted, the limit may 
well reach zero because of some quota on the mailbox. I don't think that 
the ACL should depend on the the available quota in that case (i.e., the 
"i" right would remain set because if messages were deleted, APPENDs would 
be OK).

So I think APPENDLIMIT=0 should be a valid response (though I think Pete's 
example of a "read-only" email archive would be better served via removing 
the "i" ACL right).
