I have my email users who are using dovecot-1.0.beta2.

I just upgraded to dovecot-1.0.beta3. No change.

I also have setup a dummy account to get the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) traffic.

I would like to have it so that my IMAP users (maybe POP3 but don't need that) be able to read the LKML mailing list from that email account.

I can put the email into an mbox or a maildir for the LKML mail.

I have played around with the namespace and public option and I can't get it to work :(

I tried this:

namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/virtemail/lkml/ }

In my email client (Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5), I am unable to view the Public folder. If I select subscribe, I can see the Public folder but it is grayed out.

If I do a symbolic link it works, in the sense that I can know subscribe to the folder. I created the file 'dovecot-shared' in the shared folder (I also updated the Wiki to make the procedure a little bit clearer). I couldn't seem to figure out a good way to make it read only though.

So I still can't seem to get the namespace method working.

I also tried pointing the location at an mbox and that did not work.

In the client I can see the Public folder listed but it is grayed out and won't let me subscribe.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, John
