Hello,

I'm using following two namespaces with Dovecot 2.2.13-12~deb8u1:

namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = INBOX. # the previous Cyrus compatibility separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private ... }

namespace { inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n prefix = user.%%n. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared }

For the shared namespace, the subscriptions are stored globally in '/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/subscribtions' which is bad for me. I would like too keep subscriptions per user.

I cannot set 'subscriptions = no' because I have no parent namespace. And when I set

:SUBSCRIPTIONS=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared

it does not work (absolute path does not work) and it creates file in:

/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared instead of /vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared

I found, that relative path hack works:

:SUBSCRIPTIONS=../../%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared

but I'm not sure it is the legitimate solution.

Are there other options?

Kind regards, Milo
