135977 - ACL implementation for IMAP accounts: setting ACL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 207628

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, enhancement)

Description

[luca]

Bug 38967 deals with the implementation of the ACL functionality for an IMAP
account.
The implementation is only partial, though, because it only deals with
displaying the rights on a folder (and only for the logged in user, not showing
rights granted to other users) and not with setting them (SETACL and DELETEACL
commands in rfc2086).
Another problem with the implementation of bug 38967 is that the ACL is fetched
only once, and if it is modified externally to mozilla (as there's no other
option currently) the shown rights won't reflect reality.
A possible implementation would be, in the "sharing" tab:

a) To show the rights for all users that can access the folder

b) To fetch the rights from the server any time the "sharing" tab is shown

c) If the user has the "a" (administer) right, offer her the option to modify
the rights for the folder.


The implementation of c) could be a dialog with 

1) a text field to introduce the name of another user (since mozilla doesn't
know anything about other users) with a checkbox for each possible right

2) a line for each user that currently has rights on the folder with a checkbox
for each possible right

3) a button to confirm the action
