[Dovecot] Filing to public folders

[Cajus Pollmeier]

Hi all,

I'm currently playing with a setup which might replace my current cyrus imapd one
with dovecot. Currently I'm stuck with trying to file messages that got to the user
"lists" to the public namespace' System folder (public/System) with sieve.

Dovecot claims "Permission denied", and I tried several debugging techniques to
get the cause - without a result right now :-(

Thanks,
Cajus
