Am I missing the point of namespaces or have I failed to create something in the folders to get them to play? I read something about a dovecot-shared file but I think this is a 0.99 thing, although I tried creating the file with the permissions I wanted applied to the folder and it didn't do anything...
I did notice that when the folders are created, they are created owned by the first user logged in. I have tried chmod'ing them to 777 to see if it makes a difference, but alas, no.
dovecot-shared file is required in shared folders so that the created files/dirs aren't 0700 by the user creating them.
namespace public { separator = / prefix = announcements/ location = maildir:/var/mail/announcements/Maildir }
namespace shared { separator = / prefix = archives/ location = maildir:/var/mail/archives/Maildir }
Both should probably be namespace public, since "shared" is really meant for mailboxes that point to normal users' shared mailboxes. Other than that, I'd think those should work as long as the users have permissions to access them.
I'm sure I'm just being picky, but a better explanation of namespaces in the docs might be in order, maybe with some examples. If I get this sussed out, I'll put one in the wiki ;)
http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/SharedFolders mentions the dovecot-shared file at least.. :)
