Hmm inheritance for Inbox subfolders is working now that i changed namespace inbox into namespace.
However the prefix INDEX thing does not look nice for shared folders they appear as shaler/username/INBOX/[foldername]
The docs mention:
ACL InheritanceEvery time you create a new mailbox, it gets its ACLs from the parent mailbox. If you're creating a root-level mailbox, it uses the namespace's default ACLs. There is no actual inheritance, however: If you modify parent's ACLs, the child's ACLs stay the same. There is currently no support for ACL inheritance.
Namespace's default ACLs are read from "dovecot-acl" file in the namespace's mail root directory (e.g. /var/public/Maildir). Note that currently these default ACLs are used only when creating new mailboxes, they aren't used for mailboxes without ACLs.
What i do not understand where would i have to put an dovecot-acl for user default? My mail_home is /home/vmail/%u and mail root an subfolder mail inside. The dovecot-acl residing here is the one with the acl's for inbox and therefore only used for inboxe's subfolders.

Hi,
I run dovecot (2.1.7) on debian wheezy in conjuniction with postfix, samba4 (as ldap backend) and sogo. I configured folder sharing but have an few issues. With my current config users can share the inbox and other folders. If the acl allows creatings subfolders this does work for all folders beside inbox.
What i want to archiev is the following:
If an user shares his inbox, others should be able to create subfolders and those should inherit the inboxe's acl. All subfolders of inbox should appear as folders at root level and not as subfolders of the inbox.
I thought this can be done by setting the prefix of namespace inbox to INBOX/. I did this and changed the IMAP Server Folder setting in thunderbird to INBOX (like it was earlier when i used courier). Now subfolders created at rootlevel or as subfolders of the inbox appear on rootlevel in thunderbird but they do not inherit the acl's from inbox. Is there an way to achive this?
