Hello Timo,

With dovecot-2.0.8/Maildir, in a simple shared mailboxes setting I noticed the following :

• user "doveimap" has 2 mailboxes : "Common" and "Private"

• he shares only the "Common" mailbox to user "dovepop" doing :

  x setacl "Common" dovepop lrwstipekxacd x OK Setacl complete.

• he subscribed to both

  x lsub "" *

  • LSUB () "." "Trash"
  • LSUB () "." "Common"
  • LSUB () "." "Private" x OK Lsub completed.

I'm not realy sure if the fact that "dovepop" can see doveimap's subscribed "Private" mailbox in the "#Shared" namespace is legitimate or not :

x login dovepop xxxxx x OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in x list "" *

• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
• LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#shared.doveimap"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.doveimap.Common" x OK List completed.

x lsub "" *

• LSUB () "." "Trash"
• LSUB (\Noselect) "." "#shared.doveimap"
• LSUB (\Noselect) "." "#shared.doveimap.Trash"
• LSUB () "." "#shared.doveimap.Common"
• LSUB (\Noselect) "." "#shared.doveimap.Private" x OK Lsub completed. x logout

Is this the way it's supposed to work ?

My setup is :

namespace { type = shared separator = "." prefix = "#shared.%%u." location = maildir:/courriel/boites/%%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-2/indexes/%1u/%u/shared/%%u:CONTROL=/courriel/meta/%%u # Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions. # subscriptions = no # hidden = no # list = no list = children }

# pwd /courriel/boites/doveimap # cat dovecot-acl-list 1294755382 Common # cat .Common/dovecot-acl user=dovepop akxeilprwts # cat .Private/dovecot-acl cat: .Private/dovecot-acl: No such file or directory

Also, I'm not sure I correctly understand what "Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions." option is. Is it just the location of the subscription file for mailboxes subscribed in the shared namespace ? Where would it be if set to "yes" ?

Thanks.
