[Dovecot] acl, shared folders

6 Jan 2014

      Hi list,
After spending quite some time to figure out how users can share folders I now hope someone of you could help me out. I am quite sure its just a stupid mistake/misunderstanding ... I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the shipped dovecot 2.0.19
When I login via telnet as user1 I get the following:
1 create folder1
1 OK Create completed.
2 setacl folder1 user2 rli
2 OK Setacl complete.
3 getacl folder1

ACL "folder1" "user2" ilr "user1" lrwstipekxacd
3 OK Getacl completed.
This seems fine. However, there is nothing listed in the account of user2. I think the mistake is in the namespace configuration of "location" or "prefix"
Please help! Thanks!
