I'm just curious... is the Wiki up to date regarding the status of Shared Folder support for Dovecot?
Support for "Public folders" is doable, users sharing folders to each others is not supported.
Good - while users being able to Share folders would be 'nice', it certainly isn't a requirement for us... :)
BTW. I did think about this (and many other things) recently when driving several hours in a car and having nothing else to do. I guess I should write down those ideas before I forget about them completely again.
Please do! I'm sure they are great ideas, seeing as how great dovecot is in general... :)
Specifically, does Dovecot still have a problem with Read-only (for certain users) maildirs using Shared folders defined via namespaces?
I think it should work.. At least I can't remember why it wouldn't work. If it does, please remove that text from the wiki :)
I'll certainly do so when I am able to confirm this... thanks!
Having per-user read/unread flags will be a very nice bonus, but I don't see anything about support for those...
That works too, as long as you set the index file path to be different for each user, ie. something like:
location = maildir:/var/public/Maildir:INDEX=%h/.shared-indexes
Perfect! Thanks Timo!
