IMAP

NOPERM — NOPERM

No permission for the operation

Riposte solution

The IMAP command was not permitted. The user does not have the rights to perform that operation (for example, trying to delete a shared folder without permission). Your application should catch this and avoid repeating the unauthorized action. No Riposte workaround except ensuring you only attempt allowed operations for the user. If this is unexpected, the user might need a higher privilege or a configuration change on the server.
