Hi,
first.. i'm new on this list :-) and use dovecot 1.01rc17 under fedora core 5. And i read the list of the last 4 moth and didn't found answers to my questions........
now i work with shared folders and got it running on the following configuration:
namespace private { seperator = . prefix = location = maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox = yes }
namespace public {
seperator = .
prefix = Public.
location =
maildir:/imapd/shared/public/maildir:CONTROL=/imapd/user/%u/shared-settings/public/control:INDEX=/imapd/user/%u/shared-settings/public/index
hidden = no
}
location is one line :-)
I have different questions to this configuration:
if i use "hidden = no" at the private namespace, the complete namespace isn't viewable, if i use "hidden = yes" i see the prefix "private" at the foldernames in my emailclient. Shouldn't be a non existing hidden option the same like "hidden = no"?
if use / as the seperator like dokumented at the wiki it doesn't work. with a dot like the seperator at the directories for the emailfolder it works.
is there a way to implement ACL for virtuell user in this configuration?
The namespace could be a very interesting idea to give other user access to the own mailbox (e.g. for holiday), but for this each user need it's own acl-file which he can change.... And the special folder like Inbox must be viewable from another user.
The both last could be realized with an option like "ACL = /imapd/user/%u/rights" to include an file with acldefinition at the namespacedefiniton. Another way could be a option like "ACL_R = user, user, group, group" inside of the namespacedefinition with definition of user and group outside of the namespacedefintion. For me a LDAP request would the best way :-) i realize the complete emailconfiguration with ldap.
