A few quick questions, as documentation seems to be sparse.
- Is there a way to force a shared folder to be subscribed to? If I am using SquirrelMail I have a plugin to do that, but not if they are using another IMAP client.
There are some dirty ways, such as you could execute a script instead of imap binary in mail_executable, and make the script subscribe to the folder if it's not subscribed.
I've thought about adding a custom unsubscribe ACL so that users couldn't unsubscribe even if they wanted to.
- Are there some sort of ACL's on shared folders, so that I can (hopefully with a sql backend), allow different users different permissions on the folder?
In CVS there's support for Courier-like ACL files. SQL backend could be implemented, but it's not in my near future plans. Any suggestions how its schema would look like?
- Is it a bug that we can't subscribe to the shared folder, only to it's sub folders? (and is there a way to work around this, i.e. if the shared folder isn't really a Maildir, but it's sub folders are?
I'm not sure what you mean. I'd guess you're trying to subscribe to shared namespace root? It only means it's a namespace root, not a mailbox directly. So typically you'd have some "shared/" namespace under which all the shared mailboxes are.
