[Dovecot] Public Mailbox & ACLs

Hi Udo,

I'm using 2.0.8. I've managed to get the ACLs working by adding:

mail_plugins = acl
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl
}

To the bottom of 10-mail.conf in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ (not sure if this is
technically the right place. It may be better adding them to the plugins
file).

Then added the dovecot-acl files into the subdirectories.

The only problem I'm having is that I can't get dovecot to NOT display the
top level shared folders.

Tom

Hi Tom,
sorry that I can't help you, but i have the same issue ( see thread 
"[Dovecot] Problems with acl and shared namespace" ).
With a slightly different config (separator / and so on) but the same 
result - the public mailboxes are full accessible also from unauthorized 
accounts.

I have also no answer to my questions - so i hope one of us get an answer.

BTW. which dovecot version do you use? I use 2.0.13 - perhaps i should 
try 1.x? But i want to use new software on the new mailserver...
