Hi All,
We've been thinking a lot about the 2 different ways dovecot implements shares; namespaces and symlinks.
We currently use the symlink version for our clients and they use the create_dovecot_shares.pl tool we did at:
Our idea is either in the namespace declaration or if a folder has a dovecot-shared file/symlink, have a ldap lookup defined in say, dovecot-ldap-shares.conf or dovecot-ldap.conf, that queries a dn and looks for memberUID or a group dn, then those uids/groups can get into the IMAP maildir.
Obviously the original folder would need to be owned by some predefined user, e.g dovecot etc.
Then it's just a simple matter of adding a new memberUID/group to the share listing.
We can do a custom dovecot.schema if needed (for say a dovecotShare attribute etc.), as long as we get dovecot a Private Enterprise Number from:

If Timo hasn't already got one, but I can't see one in:

Thoughts?
