<h2>USAGE</h2>
<p>This function implements folder access control lists
(ACLs). Access control lists define who is allowed to do
certain operations on a folder, or on messages in the folder.
Folder ACLs are implement only for IMAP accounts on IMAP
servers that implement access control lists. This function
will fail if <em class="replaceable"><code>folder</code></em>
is not a folder on an IMAP server that supports access
control lists.</p>
<p>This function computes application's access rights on the
<em class="parameter"><code>folder</code></em>. If this
function succeeds (this function may fail if the requesting
client does not have the required access to the folder),
<em class="parameter"><code>rights</code></em> will be
initialized by a text string that contains a list of
character which describe the requested client's access rights
on the folder.</p>
<p>At this time, the following access rights are
supported:</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">a</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Administrator access: view and change folder access
control lists.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">c</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Create subfolders.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">e</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Expunge deleted messages from the folder.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">i</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Insert, or add messages to the folder.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">l</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>List, or view the folder's existence. If a folder
does not have the “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">l</code></span>”
access right, the server will not include this folder
when it's asked to list all folders in the folder
directory. However, if the “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">r</code></span>”
access right is present, the folder may be opened if
the folder's name is known.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">r</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Read, or open the folder. An attempt to open the
folder will fail without the “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">r</code></span>”
access right, even if the folder's name is known.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">p</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>“<span class="quote">Post
messages</span>” to the folder. This access right
is currently listed in the ACL specification; however
its intention is not clear, and most servers do not do
anything useful with this access right. It is listed
here for information purposes only.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">s</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Allow changing the read/unread status of messages in
the folder. The server will not automatically clear the
<em class="structfield"><code>unread</code></em>
message status flag on messages after they are read, or
let this status flag be explicitly changed, without the
“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">s</code></span>” access right.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">t</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Allow tagging of messages as deleted or undeleted.
The server will prohibit changing the messages'
<em class="structfield"><code>deleted</code></em>
message status flag without the “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">t</code></span>”
access right.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">w</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Allow changing the <em class="structfield"><code>draft</code></em>, <em class="structfield"><code>replied</code></em>, and <em class="structfield"><code>marked</code></em> message status
flags. The server will not allow changes to these flags
without the “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">w</code></span>” access right.</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">x</code></span>”</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>Allow this folder to be removed. The server will not
this folder to be deleted without the
“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">x</code></span>” access right.</p>
</dd>

<h2>RETURN CODES AND CALLBACKS</h2>
<p>The application must wait until <em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em>'s <code class="function">success</code> or <code class="function">fail</code> method is invoked. The <code class="function">success</code> method is invoked when this request
is succesfully processed. The <code class="function">fail</code> method is invoked if this request
cannot be processed. The application must not destroy
<em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em> until either
the <code class="function">success</code> or <code class="function">fail</code> method is invoked.</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em>'s
<code class="function">fail</code> method may be invoked
even after other callback methods were invoked. This
indicates that the request was partially completed before
the error was encountered.</p>
