I need to create a symlink to share mailboxes. I tried to check at : cd /var/mail/ but I cant see all the mailboxes. Could someone advise how to do this?

you are on Dovecot v1?

What mail field is returned by your mysql driver?

I am trying to achieve as showing in tutorial here:- http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks

Below is the details of my dovecot.conf Appreciate if anyone can help.

Listen addresses.

- '*' means all available IPv4 addresses.

- '[::]' means all available IPv6 addresses.

Listen on all available addresses by default

listen = * [::]

Logging. Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging

Possible values: no, plain, sha1.

SSL: Global settings.

Refer to wiki site for per protocol, ip, server name SSL settings:

With disable_plaintext_auth=yes AND ssl=required, STARTTLS is mandatory.

Set disable_plaintext_auth=no AND ssl=yes to allow plain password transmitted

insecurely.

disable_plaintext_auth = yes

Allow plain text password per IP address/net

Authentication related settings.

Append this domain name if client gives empty realm.

Authentication mechanisms.

auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN

Limits the number of users that can be logging in at the same time.

Default is 100.

Note: this value can be overrided by "process_limit =" in service protocol.

e.g.

protocol imap-login {

...

process_limit = 500

}

#default_process_limit = 100

service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { user = postfix group = postfix mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-master { user = vmail group = vmail mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { user = vmail group = vmail mode = 0660 } }

LMTP server (Local Mail Transfer Protocol).

Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP

service lmtp { user = vmail

For higher volume sites, it may be desirable to increase the number of

active listener processes. A range of 5 to 20 is probably good for most

sites.

process_min_avail = 5

Logging.

Require 'info_log_path =' in 'protocol lmtp {}' block.

Listening on socket file and TCP

unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { user = postfix group = postfix mode = 0600 }

Master user.

Master users are able to log in as other users. It's also possible to

directly log in as any user using a master password, although this isn't

recommended.

Quota warning.

If user suddenly receives a huge mail and the quota jumps from

85% to 95%, only the 95% script is executed.

quota_warning = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning3 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u

autocreate = INBOX autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Trash autocreate4 = Drafts autocreate5 = Junk autosubscribe = INBOX autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Trash autosubscribe4 = Drafts autosubscribe5 = Junk

Plugin: expire.

#expire = Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 #expire_dict = proxy::expire

ACL and share folder

acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl

By default Dovecot doesn't allow using the IMAP "anyone" or

"authenticated" identifier, because it would be an easy way to spam

other users in the system. If you wish to allow it,

#acl_anyone = allow

The maximum number of redirect actions that can be performed during a

For versions v0.3.0 and beyond this means that redirect is prohibited.

For older versions, however, this means that the number of redirects is

unlimited, so be careful.

Login processes. Refer to Dovecot wiki for more details:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess

To avoid startup latency for new client connections, set process_min_avail

to higher than zero. That many idling processes are always kept around

waiting for new connections.

#process_min_avail = 0

number of simultaneous IMAP connections

#process_limit = $default_process_limit process_limit = 500

vsz_limit should be fine at its default 64MB value

#vsz_limit = 64M } service pop3-login { service_count = 1

number of simultaneous POP3 connections

#process_limit = 500 }

this namespace should handle its own subscriptions or not.
