I had a working dovecot install before I tried to implement shared folders using namespaces.
I added the following to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
namespace private {
separator =
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir
}
</pre>I created my shared folder using the maildirmake command that came with qmail:
maildirmake -S /home/public/shared/Maildir
maildirmake -s write -f online /home/public/shared/Maildir
chown -R dovecot:shared /home/public/shared
find /home/public/shared -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;
find /home/public/shared -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \;At this point, the online folder shows up as a subscribable folder in Thunderbird. I can subscribe to online and I can still access my Inbox. But I can't get to any of the folders in my Inbox (Trash, Drafts, etc.). I can access these folders if I comment out the namespaces and revert to the default behavior.
There are no clues in mail.err, mail.info or mail.warn -- the only messages are the ones written when my client establishes a successful IMAP connection.
What did I do wrong?
