[Dovecot] Preventing IMAP folder deletion?

[dovecot at corwyn.net]

Hi!

I'm running postfix with dovecot using mysql for user accounts, with 
Outlook being used as the IMAP mail client.  I'm using a mail 
delimiter ("+") and mail automatically goes to a Spam folder as part 
of spam filtering with amavisd and spam assassin. It's configured so 
that folders won't automatically create; if the folder isn't there 
mail delivers to the inbox (so that spam doesn't create extra folders).

the problem I ran into today is that a user deleted the Spam folder. 
While recreating it isn't that hard, is there a way I can prevent 
them from being able to delete specific folders in IMAP?

In squirrelmail I can create "system" folders that the user can't 
change or delete, but that's client based. Since I don't see that 
ability in Outlook, can I somehow configure dovecot so the user can't 
delete specified folders?

Thanks

Rick
