I'm using dovecot 1.2.14 with vpopmail.
I've enabled shared folders and the default setup was not working. The
default setup being this line:location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
Going through the Archives I saw a message from Timo that said to
apply a patch and use this line instead:location =
maildir:/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
I'm not sure why I would have said that (maybe you misunderstood or I was talking only about some specific situation or some workaround for something). %%h is cleaner, although it does require a userdb lookup.
Why isn't %%h working? Set auth_debug=yes and mail_debug=yes and show what the logs say when trying to access a shared mailbox then. Also instead of using a client, talk IMAP protocol directly (http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation), something like:
a LIST "" * b SELECT "shared/user/some-shared-box"
What do the commands reply?
