Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170597

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021127

I have a subfolder of my INBOX which is Shared to other users. I have all
permissions and anyone else has "Read, Lookup, Set Read/Unread State". The
permission are set on a cyrus imap-server.
Mozilla reports (Folder Properties/Shared) to me (as owner) the permissions
"Read, Lookup, Set Read/Unread State" and to anyone else "Full Control" and
behaves accordingly. This should be reversed.
For public folders Mozilla does something similar. Anyone has "Read, Lookup, Set
Read/Unread State, Post" permissions and some users have "Full Control" from the
server side and Mozilla reports for everyone "Full Control".

On previous Mozilla versions (1.0.1, 1.1) this worked fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a user folder.
2. Set the permissions for this folder to owner->all, anyone else->some
restricted permissions.
3. Check the permissions reported by Mozilla for the owner and some other user.

Some Clarification:
The Problem with the shared user folders is as described, but with public
folders it is as follows:
Mozilla behaves properly regarding the permissions (when copying to the folder
or removing something from it) but reports always "Full Control" when asking. It
is possible for me (without the write or delete permissions on the folder) to
select "Move to" or "Delete Message" for a message in this folder. And then the
server says permission denied.
