Hi
I wish to create a share mailbox ( well.. Apparently, this is a public mailbox). Let's say I have 2 users : user1 & user2 and the need to share a mailbox for "general inquiries" emails..
Despite of the 2 users' account creation ( user1 & user2) , should I create a third email account ( info1) for general inquiries for instance and instruct Dovecot that this mail box has to be shared ?
In that case, logically, I have to declare into: "15-Mailboxes.conf"
|namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:|||/var/spool2/mail|/info1/:CONTROL=/var/spool2/mail/Maildir/info1:INDEX=|||/var/spool2/mail|/info1 # Allow users to subscribe to the public folders. subscriptions = yes } |
|and add a file : /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl|
|| ||||/var/spool2/mail|/info1/| user=user1,user2 lrwstipekxa ||/var/spool2/mail|/info1|/* user=user1,user2 lrwstipekxa
and add the plugin :
plugin {
acl = vfile
}||
Is that the way to do it ?
- Now what is the difference between a shared and Public mailbox ?
I can see that the plugin is slightly different : |acl_shared_dict| https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/acl-plugin/#plugin_setting-acl-acl_s...
For me a "public"email folder is for sharing emails.. My understanding is: general email account can be shared ( like info1 in my example).. this is called a public mailbox.( specific email account, shared between users). So what is called a "Shared mailbox" ?????
Thanks for your help ?
