Dear Andre, Thanks for yr reply. What do i include in the file shared-mailboxes.db ? As in the input. Is it really plain text ? So for example i write into the file shared-mailbox.db :- shared@domain.net shared2@domain.net etc...

Is it like that or what kind of syntax needs to be used?

Hi,

that looks correct. I am not sure if this was necessary, but I "touched" the file before starting Dovecot... You also need to have the correct permissions set.

Hi Kevin, You don't put anything into it by yourself. This file only helps Dovecot to lookup shares to prevent iterating through every users mailbox. When you create a share, Dovecot places a plain-text entry inside this file. When a user logs in, Dovecot asks its acl "database" in whose mail directory it should look for a share.

An entry could look like this: shared/shared-boxes/user/shared-for-user@domain.tld/shared-by@domain.tld

You don't have to put a .db ending to that file. You could name it shares.txt, too. Important: "file:".
