Hello Timo,
I'm trying to get a clear understanding of dovecot's (1.2.x) flags and keywords sharing possibilities or impossibilities in a shared-mailboxes setup.
By definition, a shared mailbox is a mailbox from a personal namespace which has been made available to someone else who sees it in a shared namespace.
There can be some combinatorics according to the fact that INDEX and CONTROL files location can either be user-dependent or user-independent and this in either the private or the shared namespace.
Besides, it's not clear to me if the 'dovecot-shared' file is still relevant in 1.2x and shared-namespaces to store flags only in indexes.
So what combination is to be avoided because it would break things ?
More specifically :
. is, in 1.2x, the method for having private flags of a shared mailbox still to have the 'dovecot-shared' file (in order to store flags in indexes) ?
. how can shared keywords in a shared mailbox even work ? If they're shared (how ? by pointing CONTROL to the same user-independent location ?), keywords known by a client (user1) won't necessary be known or have the same meaning for another client (user2), will they ?
[Note : isn't it the same event with no shared mailboxes but with one user using several clients ?]
But, if they're private, they have to be stored outside the filename : how can we do that ?Thanks
