I have some problems with setting shared mailboxes . I use dovecot 1.2.11 with following namespaces :
mail_location: maildir:~
okay.
location: maildir:/home/sites/%d/mail/%%n/Maildir/
For consistency this would also be clearer if it was:
location = maildir:%%h
Although, do you really have the Maildir/ path included in users' home dirs? That's not right. http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home
I forgot to mention that I previously migrate from courier. I intend to solve this problem too. Any way from your posts I understand that the use of namespaces with separator like . is not a very good choice. I use to have prefix INBOX. and . separator for my private namespace.
I manage to change the config and maintain the compatibility , so now my namespaces looks like this:
namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. hidden: yes list: no subscriptions: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%n/ location: maildir:/home/sites/%d/mail/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/shared/%%n list: children
in the /home/sites/domain.tld/mail/user1/Maildir I have created a file dovecot-acl with :
You should use IMAP's SETACL commands to change the ACLs. I can't remember the details of how it works either.
Now , in TB under the user2 , if I check subscribe , under the shared, I have a INBOX folder that is always check but nothing else. From what I understand I suppose to see user1 folders and I think it is something wrong with my config (namespaces, paths).
You shared only user1's INBOX to user2. User2 can't see anything else without user1 sharing them. There's currently no way to set "share all of user1's mailboxes to user2".
I understand the part with sharing every folder from the mailbox user1 so that user2 to see everything from user1 mailbox. Now seems to work with previously mention modifications but it is not perfect so I suppose that is still something wrong.
Now user2 can see the inbox of user1, can read his emails...but:
in user2 inbox I have (in sq, but also in tb) : + shared - INBOX (don't now what represents, on click : ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "shared//INBOX" Reason Given: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX) - INBOX (user1 inbox - OK)
on the first login of user2 , in /home/sites/domain.tld/mail/ , is creating a orphan folder Maildir , and on select of a first "INBOX" shared folder , in /home/sites/domain.tld/mail/ is creating a orphan folder shared. In logs I have :
Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): acl: acl username = user2@domain.tld Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): acl: owner = 0 Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (null) Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): Namespace shared//: Permission lookup failed from /home/sites/domain.tld/mail//Maildir Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): Namespace shared//: Using permissions from /home/sites/domain.tld/mail//Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 8 11:41:57 dovecot: IMAP(user2@domain.tld): acl vfile: file /home/sites/domain.tld/mail//Maildir/dovecot-acl not found
it's missing %%n and this is how orphan folders gets created. What is wrong?
Nobody have the same problem?
Thanks Alex
