[Dovecot] How to prevent deleting mail by mailer?

[Wen Guangcheng]

Hi Uldis,

Thank you so much for your help.
My Dovecot version is 0.99.11 and it does not support ACL.
I will try to use file system permissions  to make mails read-only to users.
The parameter of home_mailbox is set to Maildir/ . would you please tell me
which directory or file should be changed file permissions?

Best regards,

wen
