I spend a couple of days configurating a new installation of dovecot 2.0.14 with virtual accounts and NFS storage for maildir home/mail directories.
At this point I need shared mailboxes but since user mail/home locations are ldap attributes, how is it supposed I must configure this for shared mailboxes?
for the users' mail/home directories I set this line:
user_attrs = mailbox=mail=maildir:/var/maildir/%$,homeFilter=home
Are home dirs and mail dirs related in any way? The only way you can get it working is by using home dirs, e.g.:
user_attrs = mailbox=home=/var/maildir/%$
Then in dovecot.conf:
mail_location = maildir:~/
namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ subscriptions = no list = children
location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
Of course, if you're already now using separate home dirs for some stuff, this won't really work.
