Hi!
Difference between Public and Shared mailbox is that Public mailbox is, by default, visible to all users, and Shared mailbox is visible to those who it has been shared to.
If you want a folder that is only shared to a sub-set of users, you should be using shared folder.

Hi Christophe; OK, so I will have a look on the shared mailbox Concerning the Public one, there is something I don't understand . Into the exemple :https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/public_shared/... The public folder is : /var/mail/public How to receive emails into this folder ? how can I say that any emails from "info@foo.com" should arrive into this folder ? unless I misunderstood the use of this public mailbox?
With the shared mailbox.. OK fine.. This is an account were is attached some email addresses and visible by others.. but here... if /var/mail/public is attached to an email address, this is a shared mailbox ?? I am confused

Hi Michael,
it's simply easier to use a shared mailbox, because it shows up in you own folder pane and you don't have to switch between different user-accounts.
Dovecot has built in mechanisms for shared and public mailboxes (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/) - so why not use it?
Cheers Christoph.

Curious, what is the use case that you simply can't create three > users, and share the password on on of the email accounts?
They can simply set up their email clients to check both mailboxes, > why would this not work, and what is the use case that requires > customizing your MTA?
