Our office had a user leave. Another user is taking over her duties and needs reference to the departing user's email. I've copied that entire departed user's Maildir structure to the current user:
mv olduser/Maildir/.* curuser/Maildir/.olduser
I did change permission and ownership on curuser/Maildir/.olduser to be the target user. I did not bring over the olduser/Maildir/dovecot* files (indexes, subscriptions, etc.) as I thought that would be bad.
Nevertheless, the curuser cannot see this new olduser folder (which should be at the same level as Inbox, Junk Mail, etc.). I did manually add olduser to the curuser/Maildir/subscriptions file, but still nothing.
So, what did I do wrong and how do I fix it?
