So I created a few subfolders. # cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/shared # maildirmake .sub1 # maildirmake .sub2 # chown vpopmail:vchkpw sub*

Voila, sort of. The main folder named 'shared' cannot be subscribed
to, however sub1 and sub2 can be subscribed to successfully.

That's because "shared" is a namespace prefix and not a folder. There
shouldn't be any reason to subscribe to it. But, anyway, Dovecot v1.2
allows you to subscribe to it anyway.
