Everything is working for "regular" private email boxes. But, I can't see new messages delivered to any of the public inboxes. Incoming emails get delivered to the correct locations for the public inboxes: I just don't see them in my email clients.
I'm not sure what the problem is since I don't see an error in the dovecot logs.
I also don't want to use the home directory location as provided by the IPA domain. I've worked around it by using file system symlinks, but I'd much rather just ignore the IPA provided home directory. I'm wondering if my workaround is the culprit behind new messages to the public folders not being seen by the client.
Answering my own question....
I ended up creating a second set of passdb and userdb lookups that use a passwd-file. The passwd-file only contains the "users" for the public mailboxes. The file returns the public mailboxes' home folders and the extra field, userdb_mail. Now I can see new emails arriving at the public mailboxes properly.
Oh, I also removed from my IPA server the accounts for the public mailboxes.
Maybe there's another way to do this. But, I tried a whole whack of stuff and this is the only method that has worked. :/
