I'd like to provide shared mailboxes with maildir that should appear like 'Shared/<mailboxname>' to the clients.
Using the namespace configuration below, everything works fine, exept one thing: Mail clients (only tested with Thunderbird) won't allow to put mails directly in 'Shared/mailboxname' (the folder it is greyed out). You currently have to create subfolders and put the mails in those subfolders. .. namespace shared { separator = / # hidden = yes prefix = Shared/spamrep/ location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/Shared/spamrep:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/Shared/spamrep:INDEX=~/Mail
dir/index/Shared/spamrepI find it strange that this kind of configuration even appears to work. :) If you somehow manage to get it working with v1.0, there's a good chance that it won't work anymore with v1.1.
So if you want to access "Shared/spamrep" as a mailbox, the prefix must be Shared/.
OK, I'll do mail delivery to some subfolder like "Shared/spamrep/INCOMING". If I don't put any mails directly in "Shared/spamrep", my setup is OK, isn't it?
If you wanted users to have different views of what the mailboxes look like, you could just change the location to be different for different users. Create symlinks to the visible global mailboxes to those locations.
I'd like to automatically show shared folders to my users based on group permissions to avoid having to manage symlinks for every user. Using a post-login script, this setup works just fine, so I'll try to stick to the current setup.
