Hi List,

I've got a problem, setting up shared namespaces. I am trying to setup a Mailbox (Maildir) which is accessible for some users. (For example mailbox "sales" and only sales representive have access to it)

Mailboxes can be found under /var/vmail/<username>, whereas <username> looks like foo.bar or peter.griffin ;)

Now, if I connect via telnet, loggin in as foo.bar and run a03 SETACL foobar peter.griffin lwrxk

everything seems fine. Under /var/vmail/foo.bar is a acl-file dovecot-acl-list Under /var/vmail/foo.bar/.foobar is a acl-file dovecot-acl The contents looks ok. Also there is a generated file /var/vmail/shared-mailboxes.db.

But if i now loggin in as peter.griffin and setup command a03 LIST "" "*" or a03 LIST "" "#shared"

I can not find any shared mailbox.

Above you can find my actual configuration. I've tried several versions of location: under shared namespace, but without success.

Hope someone has a clue and point me into the right direction.

Thanks for your help.

Friendly Regards, Patrick
