BTW. Do you have multiple Dovecot backend servers? Director works only when you're not using shared mailboxes..
You can't reliably do it if the mailboxes are accessed directly via NFS. The current idea to solve this is to use imapc backend with master users, so the actual mailbox access for each user is always done by only one server. I think someone already managed to configure such a setup.
This was me.
It works (with one minor quirk, more on this later) in my current test setup like so:
a) 1 to X user-servers with the users mailboxes on them b) 1 shared-server with the shared mailboxes on them
For implementing shared mailboxes between all user servers, I think what would need to be developed is:
imapc_host = m-st-sh-01.example.com imapc_master_user = %u imapc_user = shared
Somehow being able to set "imapc_user = %%u" where %%u expands to the shared namespace's username. Or maybe setting the imapc_user automatically to that when accessing it via type=shared namespace.
Wouldn't you still need the target users host because this will be dynamic depending on the target user?
