Posted Monday 7/25. Haven't seen a response. Trying again:
This is a noobie question, so bear with me if it's not worded correctly:
Primary Requirements:
- I'd like to have two namespaces - one private/per-user, and one public (visible by all logged-in users).
The public mailbox(s) would be used to distribute information to all users.
- I'd like both POP3 and IMAP users to see both namespaces.
As I understand it, this requires the use of the virtual plugin for POP3, in order to create a virtual namespace which would mix together the private and public namespaces into one mailbox.
I have read:

https://sys4.de/de/blog/2013/02/11/dovecot-virtual-setup-mit-globaler-sieve- spamfilter-regel-fur-pop3-nutzer/ (via Google translation)
The example uses a CASE statement in the MySQL userdb query. As I understand it, this is done to set which namespace contains the inbox: the private namespace or the virtual namespace -- depending on if the user is connected via the imap or pop3 service, respectively.
Question: how do I accomplish the same goal (setting the proper namespace for the inbox) when using a passwd-file style flat file userdb?
Thanks,
Michael
