Using dovecot 1.0.10. In the config:
namespace public { separator = / hidden = no prefix = Flock/ location = maildir:/home/baratin/PublicMaildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/Flock:INDEX=/var/dovecot/index/%u/Flock }
This should be a public mail folder owned by "baratin", "read only" for all other users. Every user has his/her own control and index area related to this public folder. I have verified, they are owner and "group" of the respective control and index area.
The problem, while using Thunderbird: The "read only" user can delete messages or mark then read. But after a new session, all the messages are still "new". Of course, only "baratin" is the owner.
The problem, while using mutt and IMAP: mutt refuse to change any flag because the folder is "read only". Of course, this is correct.
My question: Why is no bookkeeping maintained for "other" users, although every one has his/her own control and index structure ?
Thanks a lot !
