    the sieve part seems to be very tricky.
    My test is now working with a public folder and I have a
    "sieve_before" script in place which works for rules of the
    private namespace.

    But when the rule shall "fileinto" a public folder, the mail isn't
    filtered (moved) and syslog says
    dovecot: lmtp(.): Error ... sieve...: Mailbox doesn't exist.

    After some tests I found out it always looks in the private (or
    shared)
    namespace for that specfied folder.
    Do I miss a config option to let dovecot sieve "fileinto" a public
    namespace folder?
    I use dovecot version 2.2.13.

    We „fileinto“ in this manner :

    |fileinto „Namespace/folder“; |

This is what is not working for me.

Your procedure below is good and maybe I will use parts of it, thank
you. But this part is working for already. The incoming mail
is sent to dovecot (postfix virtual alias working) and the
match in sieve script is correct too.
The problem is that dovecot (sieve) refuses to
fileinto "Namespace/folder"
because it seems it wants to store the mail
in private namespace with "folder1/folder2" instead.
The first part of the fileinto path isn't used as
namespace name.
Is there a config option for this behaviour?

Are you sure the ACL are correct? Can be that the error message „Mailbox doesn't exist“ is misleading and the permissions are not correct.

You are correct. The message is misleading. And even worse, if I used fileinto :create "...." the folder was created in private namespace then.

The shared and public folders need of course the anyone post right to let fileinto work.

Now it works. Thank you Tobias.
