Hello,
I just installed dovecot (1.0.10) to replace UW-IMAP. So far almost everything works. But I need shared folders (mbox format). I hope I've set up everything but when a user subscribes to one of the shared folders a file .subscriptions with perm 600 is created in the parent directory of the shared mailboxes ("namespace public" below). As I understand the docs that file should go to the user's home directory, right? What did I wrong? Thank you in advance.
Here is my dovecot.conf (comments and blank lines stripped):
---- snip ---- protocols = imap imaps pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mbox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mailindexes/%u namespace private { inbox = yes } namespace public { prefix = Public/ location = mbox:/var/spool/imap:INDEX=/var/mailindexes hidden = no } mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ---- snip ----
