Setting permissions on shared folders

[Alessandro Di Bella <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm investigating Apache James for an internal project that requires the 
use of shared folders via IMAP.
Each user would have full access to his own mailbox (private) and 
limited privileges on shared folders (e.g. read only, cannot delete, can 
create sub folder,etc.).
Looking at the documentation 
(http://james.apache.org/protocols/imap4.html) it seems that that the 
server supports RFC 2342.
Using  the "Complete Hierarchy" model within the context of  IMAP 
namespaces.defined by RFC 2342 would allow me to share folders amongst 
users but I cannot find anything on how to limit what those users can do 
on each folder.
Searching the mail archive I found a thread about IMAP ACL 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/server-user@james.apache.org/msg13239.html) 
but it's not clear about the current status of its development.
Is there a plan to fully support RFC 4314 
(https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4314.txt)? If not is there a way to 
programmatically control user permission on a shared folder (e.g. 
http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/2.0.x/apidocs/org/springframework/security/vote/RoleVoter.html)?

Any pointers to documentation/source code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you.

Alessandro
