I'll explain in a second.

Yes, I do. Which is why this is so weird. It's funny, one of those errors
just got thrown right when I started to reply. I checked the user
immediately:

- Error gets thrown

A201 NO Access denied for SELECT/EXAMINE on INBOX.Sent Items (ACL "r"
required)

- I check the courierimapacl file in Maildir/.Sent Items

root@m12:/var/Accounts/d.sub/m.sub/361143.macnt# cat .Sent\
Items/courierimapacl
user=postmaster aceilrstwx
owner aceilrstwx

Of course, I do the following and it works fine:

a1 login dmstevens3331 <her password!>
A1 OK LOGIN Ok.
A2 SELECT "INBOX.Sent Items"
* FLAGS (NoAttachment \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (NoAttachment \* \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted
\Seen)] Limited
* 5 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1111981705] Ok
* OK [MYRIGHTS "acdilrsw"] ACL
A2 OK [READ-WRITE] Ok

Hmm...

While this is possible, the errors are getting thrown from the web servers
and the user can't change their ACLs from the web server. Now, it's
completely possible that the user is say, opening up their account using
Outlook Express, changing the ACLs, logging into the website, throwing this
ACL, then changing the ACLs back before I can react fast enough to connect
via VPN, log into the server, find that user's maildir, and check the ACL
file....but I doubt it.

What do you think?
