Thanks :) worked,  just one single glitch and days of working :(.

still there is one more thing which is missing in my case.

after separating control and index files. i found no conflicts or
permission error. but one thing which i want to control and that is,
i dont want users to delete emails from there indexes.

for example. i want it to be controlled via owner of the mailbox for
instance  if HR is sending a new policy announcement no one shell got
the right to delete it even from their index files till HR release a
new version of document and delete the email manually.



do i have to use ACLs in my case or filesystem permissions will be suffice?

will ACLs work if i save index and control files on separate location?


Please advice, to accomplish my goal do i have to use the public
folder or shared mailbox ?


i would appreciate your guidance for my newbie type of questions :).
