Hi,
I've tried doing the following still with no luck.
namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/Shared subscriptions = no }
This allows everyone still to see Shared on subscriptions. Does anyone know how to stop this??

Hi,
I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL.
My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server):
/var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public folder (a public folder rather than a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder1 - support sub folder 1 (a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder2 - support sub folder 2 (another maildir) /var/spool/maildir/System /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder1 /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder2
I couldn't get the namespace working correctly to just have 1 folder called "Shared" (you just got an empty folder when trying to subscribe). I ended up making 2 namespaces below:
namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.Support. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/Support:INDEX=~/Maildir/Support subscriptions = no }
namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.System. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/System:INDEX=~/Maildir/System subscriptions = no }
This allowed me to get the result I was looking for. Using an ACL I get a Shared->Support/System->Subfolders view. However the problem is when a user is not in the ACL they can still see the Shared->Support/System folders (just none of the subfolders) and obviously can't subscribe.
Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong and if there is a better way of doing this?
Many thanks,
Tom
