Hi,
I am unable to subscribe to shared folders with Thunderbird although everything seems to be correct (dovecot 1.2).
What does not work? I click "Subscribe..." in Thunderbird. The shared mailboxes are listed, all with [ ] (no checkbox). Therefore I mark them [x], click "subscribe" and "OK". However, the folders do not appear in the folder tree. Furthermore, when I again click "Subscribe..." the folders do NOT have the mark [x] any more. This happens on different computers with *new* profiles.
My configuration is the following (maybe that is the problem?!):
namespace private { separator = . prefix =. inbox = no list = no hidden = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir-root subscriptions = yes }
namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes subscriptions = yes }
namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs subscriptions = no }
The folder /var/mail/shared has appropriate permissions/form: permissions "lrwstie"
- Owner: $user:mailuser (all users are member of "mailuser")
- All files 0660, all folders 0770
- There exists a dovecot-shared in every folder
- There exists a dovecot-acl in each folder where each user has the
I switched on "mail_debug = yes" but no messages.
However, the file ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions contains the subscribed folders:
Shared.Group1 Shared.Group2 Shared.Group1/Test
Furthermore, I switched on rawlog. Everything seems to be OK as well:
.in-file: 2 subscribe "Shared.Group1" 3 lsub "" "INBOX.*" 5 lsub "" "Shared.*" 6 list "" "INBOX"
.out-file: 2 OK Subscribe completed. [...]
I am pretty sure it already worked. But it stopped working. Does anybody have a hint what could be the problem?
