Howdy,

Is is possible to use a ACL to stop subs from being available via IMAP?

IE: I want to use IMAP to send/receive email, but I dont want to use IMAP to see the subs and their content.

While I successfully setup an IMAP connection to SBBS, it hammered the server (for I dont know how long), and pulled in every message area, sub and contents - so currently it showing 90,000 odd messages.

I just want IMAP to the email (private mail) box.

I did set up an ACL on a group "PROT NOT IMAP", but that didnt seem to do anything. Is it possible?

Yes, "PROT != IMAP" should do it. And if you support IMAPS, add " AND PROT != IMAPS" to that.

I asked Deuce if he considered adding an option to to *just* expose email in the imapservice.js and he had not (yet). A gitlab issue assigned to him might just accomplish that.
