[Dovecot] Problem with v1.1.10
I've been using 1.1.8 successfully but tried out 1.1.10 this morning.
I have a combination of system and virtual users. The system users were unaffected by the change, but the virtual users all lost access to their mail because their home directories, as interpreted by dovecot, moved from user@domain to user@user@domain.
The location of the home directory is given to dovecot for virtual users using the static db as
uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u mail=maildir:~/Inboxdir
Were there any changes in this area that might have caused the problem?

Hi all,
I finally manged to create somehow shared folders in dovecot imap ...
After a number trials I came up with this conf from my test server #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#dovecot --build-options SQL drivers: mysql Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: nss passwd passwd-file prefetch sql static #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- protocols = imap imaps log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " ssl_cert_file = /etc/postfix/sasl/mycert.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/postfix/sasl/mycert.pem mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace private { separator = / prefix =
location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes } namespace public { prefix = Public/ separator = / location = maildir:/var/Public:INBOX=~/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/p-index:CONTROL=~/Maildir/p-ctrl hidden=no subscriptions=no inbox = no } namespace public { prefix = Public2/ separator = / location = mbox:/var/Public2/mboxes:INBOX=~/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/p2-index:CONTROL=~/Maildir/p2-ctrl hidden=no subscriptions=no inbox = no } mail_privileged_group = mail mail_debug = yes valid_chroot_dirs = /var/mail protocol imap { mail_plugins = convert imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle }

( just above cur,tmp,new ) b) when mbox format is used dovecot-shared file does not get honored at all ... ( ie a user creates another mailbox in the directory ). c) Is there a way to reject mbox or maildir file/dir creations by the users in a shared folder ??
I've used a mailbox format public namespace in order to be simple and have users dump undetected spam there for latter use in sa-learn --spam .
Please understand that I am quite new to this ( confused as well ), thus some of my questions might seem naive ( at least ) ..
Cheers Harry.

Correct.

Correct.
c) Is there a way to reject mbox or maildir file/dir creations by the users in a shared folder ??
Remove write permission from the parent directory.
See the newly rewritten http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes if that helps with your questions.
