[Dovecot] Per-user "Seen" flags on public folder

[Torsten Harenberg]

Dear all,

sorry to bother the list again, I have a small configuration issue again with public (shared) folders.

These folders should have per-user Seen flags, so I configured:

namespace {
  type = public
  separator = .
  prefix = public.
  location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=%u/public
  subscriptions = no
  list = children
}

But this only seems to work with my account (presumably as I was the first one who touched the folder), all other users cannot change the "Seen" flags

My home dir is set to /home/mail/harenber and there is a:

mail# ls -l
total 1162
-rwxrwxrwx  1 10001  wheel     4016 Jun  9 13:27 dovecot.index
-rwxrwxrwx  1 10001  wheel  1125376 Jun 14 11:26 dovecot.index.cache
-rwxrwxrwx  1 10001  wheel     2140 Jun  9 13:40 dovecot.index.log
-rwxrwxrwx  1 10044  wheel    33792 Jun  9 13:28 dovecot.index.log.2
mail# pwd
/home/mail/harenber/harenber/public/.fb8	

(don't know why my username appears twice).


which looks the same on some other account:

mail# ls -l 
total 1380 
-rw-rw-rw- 1 10002 wheel 4016 Jun 9 19:40 dovecot.index 
-rw-rw-rw- 1 10002 wheel 1364992 Jun 10 10:54 dovecot.index.cache 
-rwxrwxrwx 1 10114 wheel 16072 Jun 10 10:54 dovecot.index.log 
mail# pwd 
/home/mail/sandhoff/sandhoff/public/.fb8

The public folder looks like this:

mail# pwd
/var/mail/public/.fb8
mail# ls -l
total 52
drwxrwxrwx  2 root   wheel    512 Jun  9 13:05 cur
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root   wheel     54 Jun  9 13:11 dovecot-acl
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root   wheel     97 Jun  9 13:05 dovecot-keywords
-rw-rw-rw-  1 10001  wheel  18513 Jun  9 13:27 dovecot-uidlist
drwxrwxrwx  2 root   wheel  23552 Jun  9 13:05 new
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root   wheel      0 Jun  9 13:05 subscriptions
drwxrwxrwx  2 root   wheel    512 Jun  9 13:05 tmp


Does anybody see what I did (again) wrong?  (doveconf -n at the end, as allways)

Thanks 

   Torsten
