Re: The IMAP APPENDLIMIT Extension

Jan,

Thank you for pointing that out.  While I have 
looked at the RFC, I am not well up on ACL 
commands having never had reason to support them 
in my server.  I see an account's right to use 
APPEND as a different matter from a server's 
ability to allow APPENDs though (the former is, 
as it were, subjective while the latter is 
objective) and I still think it would be valuable 
for servers to have an ability to indicate that 
APPENDs are not acceptable.  Of course this does 
mean that the interaction of the two must be 
defined but I think that should be easy and, I 
hope, obvious in that nothing a server says about 
its willingness to accept APPENDs should be taken 
as any indication that that overrides a user's 
rights.  After all, we are not suggesting that a 
server should inhibit its sending of APPENDLIMIT 
data to clients operating without the "i" right.
