Timo, thanks for the example I will use that for what I'm trying to accomplish.
As for multiple shared namespaces if I have two shared namespaces in dovecot 2.x the second shared namespace never works. For example if the 1st shared namespace is
namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = domain1.com/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/vmail/domain1.com/%%u:CONTROL=/var/vmail/%d/controlprivate/%%u: INDEX=/var/vmail/%d/sharedindexprivate/%%u subscriptions = no ##list = children list = yes
this will work perfectly, users in domain1.com will create a shared folder and those users in domain1.com will see the share in the subscription options (thunderbird/squirrelmail etc) under domain1.com/email_address/share_name.
However when I create another shared namespace like the one below users in domain2.com never get to see the shared folder they just see domain2.com/%u
namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = domain2.com/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/vmail/domain2.com/%%u:CONTROL=/var/vmail/%d/controlprivate/%%u: INDEX=/var/vmail/%d/sharedindexprivate/%%u subscriptions = no ##list = children list = yes
It's not a big deal now that I know I can use your method above but I was wondering if you have any thoughts
Thanks again, Paul

Timo thanks for the reply. To do what your suggested I would need a specific user_query for that domain correct? Ex: WHERE userid = '%u@domain1.com'. Also how would I override the mail_plugins setting, can you give me an example, the example on the URL below doesn't make that clear to me.
Something like:
user_query = SELECT if('%d'='domain1.com', 'quota imap_quota acl imap_acl', null) as mail_plugins, ..etc..
Also I was trying to have 2 shared namespaces which would have been ideal, why allowing any user to share a folder it wouldn't work unless the from path is listed on the location field but it looks like I can't have more than one shared namespace is this correct?
"from path"? I haven't tried more than one shared namespace, but I don't really see why it couldn't work.
