Hello, I am trying to setup a shared mailbox for a small team. Let's say Alice and Bob both need to read and answer sales@example.com. I would like Alice and Bob to retain private \Seen flags on sales@example.com. I know I can achieve that with INDEXPVT on shared or public mailboxes but I am not 100% happy with this solution because:
- Thunderbird displays sales@example.com/Inbox and sales@example.com/Sent as "subscribed folders" within alice@example.com and bob@example.com. So Alice and Bob can't use the unified view of Thunderbird.
- I need create a special identity in Alice and Bob Thunderbird's configuration so the sender is sales@example.com when Alice or Bob sends an email from sales@example.com (and not alice@example.com or bob@example.com). But I am not sure another email client is able to do that (on a mobile phone for example).
- I need to add ACL rights if a new folder is created under sales@example.com. So I am now looking at the "master users" feature of Dovecot to replicate this MS Exchange setup https://www.en.its.aau.dk/instructions/Mail/shared-mailbox-thunderbird/ (alice@example.com and bob@example.com log is as sales@example.com). I achieved that but I don't know how to retain private \Seen flags so that Bob doesn't see an email as read even if Alice has marked it as read before. Is it possible to retain private \Seen flags with master users? If yes, how can I achieve that? Thank you for any help! PS: I posted the same question on https://forum.iredmail.org/post77816.html and https://forum.iredmail.org/topic13549-proposal-for-a-exchange-like-shared-ma... but I couldn't get help and was advised to ask here.
Better idea would be to share the folder to Bob & Alice so that they have private indexes. This way they both have their own set of Seen flags.
