Default ACL for new user mailbox

[marc.bigler at day.com]

Well I suppose it is a mailbox without a parent because it's the INBOX of a
user that I am creating and before that nothing exists for that user. Again
the mailbox I am creating is user.testuser and I tryed setting the default
acl like that in imapd.conf:

defaultacl: cyrus all

restarted the master daemon process but it still didn't work !

Any ideas ?

Regards

The mailbox "user.testuser", you create, is a mailbox without a parent
mailbox, isn't it?
All new created mailboxes without a parent mailbox gets the acl from
"defaultacl". All mailboxes, that are children of another get the ACL from
its parent-box. I think, that is what should be said above in the manual.
So if your new top-level-mailbox get the right acl and the user isn't
allowed to change it, all children-boxes of this mailbox get the right acl.

That is my experience.
