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.
