[Dovecot] Cannot subscribe to shared folders
Hi,
I am unable to subscribe to shared folders with Thunderbird although everything seems to be correct (dovecot 1.2).
What does not work? I click "Subscribe..." in Thunderbird. The shared mailboxes are listed, all with [ ] (no checkbox). Therefore I mark them [x], click "subscribe" and "OK". However, the folders do not appear in the folder tree. Furthermore, when I again click "Subscribe..." the folders do NOT have the mark [x] any more. This happens on different computers with *new* profiles.
My configuration is the following (maybe that is the problem?!):
namespace private { separator = . prefix =. inbox = no list = no hidden = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir-root subscriptions = yes }
namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes subscriptions = yes }
namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs subscriptions = no }
The folder /var/mail/shared has appropriate permissions/form: permissions "lrwstie"
- Owner: $user:mailuser (all users are member of "mailuser")
- All files 0660, all folders 0770
- There exists a dovecot-shared in every folder
- There exists a dovecot-acl in each folder where each user has the
I switched on "mail_debug = yes" but no messages.
However, the file ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions contains the subscribed folders:
Shared.Group1 Shared.Group2 Shared.Group1/Test
Furthermore, I switched on rawlog. Everything seems to be OK as well:
.in-file: 2 subscribe "Shared.Group1" 3 lsub "" "INBOX.*" 5 lsub "" "Shared.*" 6 list "" "INBOX"
.out-file: 2 OK Subscribe completed. [...]
I am pretty sure it already worked. But it stopped working. Does anybody have a hint what could be the problem?

In this case the subscriptions for Shared. are saved in ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions.
However, may be that this does NOT work in practice?
It works as soon as I set "subscriptions = yes" in the public namespace :-(
However, then the subscriptions are saved in the shared folder and the users overwrite them themselves :-/

Hi,
I did further investigation on this issue (using raw IMAP commands) and I think that this is a bug...

In each case I make sure that all folders are subscribed, that is, the subscribe command returns OK and the subscribed folders are written into /var/mail/shared/subscriptions and ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions, respectively. Just to make sure:
# cat /var/mail/shared/subscriptions NoSpamDrop Public SpamDrop # cat /home/lukas/Maildir-root/subscriptions Shared.NoSpamDrop Shared.Public Shared.SpamDrop #
It turns out that if I set
1.) subscriptions = yes (in the public namespace above) the lsub command behaves correct:
. list "" "Shared.*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.NoSpamDrop"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.Public"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.SpamDrop"
. OK List completed.
. lsub "" "Shared.*"
* LSUB () "." "Shared.NoSpamDrop"
* LSUB () "." "Shared.Public"
* LSUB () "." "Shared.SpamDrop"
. OK Lsub completed.
. logout
* BYE Logging out
. OK Logout completed.
closed2.) ...but with subscriptions = no the lsub command returns an empty list ALTHOUGH the folders are subscribed:
. list "" "Shared.*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.NoSpamDrop"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.Public"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Shared.SpamDrop"
. OK List completed.
. lsub "" "Shared.*"
. OK Lsub completed.
. logout
* BYE Logging out
. OK Logout completed.Now I am pretty sure that this is a bug. Maybe it is better to file a bug report?

It's a bug, yes. It's also already fixed in v2.1 code tree as a result of large cleanups and fixes to mailbox/subscriptions listing. Backporting the fixes to v2.0 (or even worse: v1.x) would probably be a lot of trouble..

Hi,
Thank you for your reply (and the bad news ;-) )
So the one solution for v1.2 is to use CONTROL=~/... in the public namespace and relinquish the shared keywords feature?
