Hi i have trouble getting my public folders working properly. I have a few issues atm with them.

First off i'm using version 2.0.9 as it came with CentOS and would greatly prefer to keep this version.

Here is my dovecot.conf file

# dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 last_valid_uid = 101 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. CEGO webmail server mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/vmail/shared:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=/home/vmail/shared/ prefix = shared/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = /home/vmail/domains/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/domains/%d/%n/sieve_scripts sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = root } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } valid_chroot_dirs = /home/vmail/domains verbose_ssl = yes protocol lmtp { log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = quota sieve sieve acl postmaster_address = postmaster@cegotest.dk } protocol sieve { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 }

And my dovecot-ldap file hosts = localhost dn = cn=dovecot,dc=cegotest,dc=dk dnpass = password auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = o=hosting,dc=cegotest,dc=dk deref = never scope = subtree user_filter = (&(objectClass=JammMailAccount)(mail=%u)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE)) pass_attrs = mail,userPassword pass_filter = (&(objectClass=JammMailAccount)(mail=%u)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

Here is my current issues.

1. I cannot get shared folders to work with pr. user settings. What i want is a public folder that all my users can see but each user marks mail as read individually. Atm no matter how i set it up if user1 marks a mail as read, then user2 will also see that mail as read :(

2. ACL to control the permissions. Right now all users can move mail and remove mail from the shared folders. I want people (except a few specific users) to be read only on this public folders.

3. Need to know if i'm creating the folders correctly. Right now i'm under my shared folder directory creating shared_folder and 3 subfolders beneath it (cur, new and tmp). After this it shows up in eg. roundcube and i can subscribe to it.

I have read all the documentation and tried all the solutions i can. Mostly moving the index and/or config files to seperate dirs and from my understanding that should give each user their own index file marking what mails have been read ect. But this doesn't happen.

Hope you guys are able to help me out a little here.
