- Frank Kirschner via dovecot:
how about to chown of ~/.maildir/.foo to an other user than defined as mail_uid / mail_gid in dovecot's config?
Directory .foo needs to have the same owner as the parent ~/.maildir . Like the name and location of .foo, this is a restriction imposed by the third party software which creates .foo.
Additional you have to edit in each users mail locations root the subscriptions file and remove the line, pointing to ~/.maildir/.foo
Foo is not mentioned in the subscriptions list, but macOS and iOS MUAs don't care about user subscriptions anyway. Also, in Thunderbird, foo will be listed as one of the folders a user can subscribe to, and nothing is preventing that (or worse, the deletion of foo).
