[Dovecot] Shared Folders

[Stephen Carville]

I am trying to get a shared folder to work.  I created a directory /var/mail/CS:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 10 16:09 /var/mail/CS

Inside of that I put

-rw-rw---- 1 root cs      0 Mar 10 16:49 dovecot-shared
drwxrws--- 5 root cs   4096 Mar 10 16:09 .Incoming

When I try to subscribe to Incoming, I get the following error:

Mar 10 16:45:17 scacifs02-lnx dovecot: imap-login: Login:
user=<stephen>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.212.202.63, lip=10.212.166.21,

mkdir(/var/mail/CS/cur) failed: Permission denied
Mar 10 16:45:28 scacifs02-lnx dovecot: IMAP(stephen): Connection closed

whats happening here?  Why is dovecot even trying to create var/mail/CS/cur?
