Just another little personal project…
It’s interesting sometimes to scope out possible improvements to software, and quite easy in some ways when the requirements are quite strictly defined. The interesting bit comes from where the problem can be held up and turned left and right and up and down and inside-out to work out the problem areas, possible data structures, locking issues, points of interface with current code…
In this case, just scoping out how hard it would be to implement (server-side) the ACL IMAP4 extension from RFC 2086. Doesn’t seem that bad. Would have to add some idea about the “Other Users” namespace from RFC 2342 as well though. I’m obviously only at scoping level 1.
Wonder if this will go the way of many of my other personal projects (unfinished). Proof of concept is all well and good, but I should probably finish one
