Problems with my own theme

[Joost]

Hi there, I hope you can help me on this:

I made my own theme (for UebiMiau) and put the files of that theme on my server (hosted by a company that uses DA). I tried to use the /webmail/tmp/ folder for emailstorage (serverwide folder), used in the config.php. Sadly I don't get access to that folder: permission denied or folder does not exist. The folder does exist, so that's not the problem.
Because I could not use the serverwide email tmp-folder, I made my own. Everything is working fine, but the problem is as follows:

when somebody sends an email message and saves the sent file on his webmail, it get saved on my own /tmp/. That's why it uses a lot of my serverspace, just because I can't use the serverwide /tmp/-folder.

I emailed the server administrator and asked him if he could change the chmod so I could use the serverwide /tmp/ to store the sent messages as well. He does not want to change anything about the chmod of that folder, because he thinks its too insecure.

Does anybody know what I can do to actually get access to the serverwide folder where all emailmessages are stored?
Thank you in advance for your response.

The only way to get access to the folder is if the root owner gives it to you.

What I don't understand from your post is why creating a new theme will create any problems.

When people send messages, they usually got the function on to store the sent email in the sent folder. The sent folder is located on my own serverspace, with 100mb max. When I reach the 100mb, people cant come into my site anymore. Thats why I want to use the serverwide /tmp/-folder, so I wont get in any troubles...
Do you know what my hosting-company could change the chmod to, without getting less privacy, but I still can use it?

Thanks,
