Hi all,

my problem seems to be a cosmetic one (again).

According to the docs:

subscriptions: "yes" (default) if this namespace should handle its own subscriptions. If "no", then the first parent namespace with subscriptions=yes will handle it.

Therefore is no way to create the following scenario:

three namespaces (private, shared, public) the private namespace has to handle its own subscriptions the private namespace setup with "prefix = INBOX." the both shared and public namespace setup with "subscriptions = no"

cause there is no so called "parent" namespace. Private namespace setup with "prefix = " works fine, but that's not what I want.

namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/vmail/public subscriptions = no } namespace inbox { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = user.%%u. location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Any chance that the private namespace can subscribe to shared mailboxes with the principals above? ... Few hours later. Added a default namespace without any prefix:

namespace { prefix = separator = . hidden = yes subscriptions = yes }

Subscriptions works as expected, but when I telnet to dovecot now the LSUB command shows all boxes beneath the INBOX as well as without the prefix:

b lsub "" *

• LSUB () "." "Sent"
• LSUB () "." "Templates"
• LSUB () "." "Trash"
• LSUB () "." "Drafts"
• LSUB () "." "INBOX.Sent"
• LSUB () "." "INBOX.Templates"
• LSUB () "." "INBOX.Trash"
• LSUB () "." "INBOX.Drafts"
• LSUB () "." "INBOX.user.bar.Sent"
• LSUB () "." "user.bar.Sent" b OK Lsub completed.
