Hello,
I just installed dovecot (1.0.10) to replace UW-IMAP. So far almost everything works. But I need shared folders (mbox format). I hope I've set up everything but when a user subscribes to one of the shared folders a file .subscriptions with perm 600 is created in the parent directory of the shared mailboxes ("namespace public" below). As I understand the docs that file should go to the user's home directory, right? What did I wrong? Thank you in advance.
The .subscriptions file goes to the mbox root directory. This can't be changed with mboxes. With maildir you could specify a different directory with :CONTROL=path.
location = mbox:/var/spool/imap:INDEX=/var/mailindexes
So to /var/spool/imap/.subscriptions with this setting, which is what you meant I guess?
With v1.1 there's a new subscriptions=no namespace setting. Then you can specify that you have all users' subscriptions in only the private namespace.
