Hi,
I am unable to subscribe to shared folders with Thunderbird although everything seems to be correct (dovecot 1.2).
What does not work? I click "Subscribe..." in Thunderbird. The shared mailboxes are listed, all with [ ] (no checkbox). Therefore I mark them [x], click "subscribe" and "OK". However, the folders do not appear in the folder tree. Furthermore, when I again click "Subscribe..." the folders do NOT have the mark [x] any more. This happens on different computers with *new* profiles.
My configuration is the following (maybe that is the problem?!):
namespace private { separator = . prefix =. inbox = no list = no hidden = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir-root subscriptions = yes }
namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes subscriptions = yes }
namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs subscriptions = no } [...]
In this case the subscriptions for Shared. are saved in ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions.
However, may be that this does NOT work in practice?
It works as soon as I set "subscriptions = yes" in the public namespace :-(
However, then the subscriptions are saved in the shared folder and the users overwrite them themselves :-/
