Hello,
I'm new to dovecot, please forgive me my silly questions. :-)
My OS is FreeBSD 6.1. I just installed dovecot 1.0.beta9. I have created a public namespace this way:
namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public }
namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir inbox = yes }
Then I created a new group and added a user to it:
pw groupadd das pw usermod testuser -g das
Then I created some files in /var/mail/public:
drwxrwx--- 2 testuser das 512 Jul 11 19:22 Tasks drwx------ 2 testuser mail 512 Jul 11 19:20 cur drwxrwx--- 2 testuser das 512 Jul 11 19:24 dovecot-shared drwx------ 2 testuser mail 512 Jul 11 19:20 new drwx------ 2 testuser mail 512 Jul 11 19:20 tmp
Then I restarted dovecot, and I tried to subscribe to 'Tasks', but my email client (Thunderbird 1.5) does not allow it.
My other problem is about the "inbox = yes" setting. The private namespace does have an inbox, and it shows up in thunderbird. But it does not show my e-mails. I know that I have emails, I can read them with the 'mail' command.
Please help me.
Laszlo
