[Dovecot] shared namespace problem

[Patrick Kaiser]

Hi List,

I've got a problem, setting up shared namespaces.
I am trying to setup a Mailbox (Maildir) which is accessible
for some users. (For example mailbox "sales" and only
sales representive have access to it)

Mailboxes can be found under /var/vmail/<username>,
whereas <username> looks like foo.bar or peter.griffin ;)

Now, if I connect via telnet, loggin in as foo.bar and run
a03 SETACL foobar peter.griffin lwrxk

everything seems fine. 
Under /var/vmail/foo.bar is a acl-file dovecot-acl-list
Under /var/vmail/foo.bar/.foobar is a acl-file dovecot-acl
The contents looks ok.
Also there is a generated file /var/vmail/shared-mailboxes.db.

But if i now loggin in as peter.griffin and setup command
a03 LIST "" "*"
or
a03 LIST "" "#shared"

I can not find any shared mailbox. 


Above you can find my actual configuration. I've tried several 
versions of location: under shared namespace, but without success.

Hope someone has a clue and point me into the right direction.


Thanks for your help.


Friendly Regards, 
Patrick
