Hi list, Here is thing im trying to accomplish. I would like to setup public folders which resposible for delivering mails for some speical addresses like info@example.com. And it will be perfect if "seen" status for this folder will be saved per user. I mean if one user read message and set it as read other user should see it still as unread. As I far i know there some limitation in 1.0 tree but not in lates 1.1. My question is can I do such setup with dovecot+postfix. Im really appreciate for simple examples how can i accomplish this kind setup if it possible :)
Hoi,

AFAIK the "Seen" Flag is not maintained on a per user basis.
I do the delivery to the public folders via the "aliases" mechanism and the "safecat" program http://jeenyus.net/~budney/linux/software/safecat.html which delivers messages from stdin to a Maildir specified on the cmdline. Along with the safecat comes a "maildir" sh-script that is a wrapper for safecat and makes things shorter.
info: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.info"
contact: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.info"
sales: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.sales"To work around permission problems I have made the safecat programm setuid dovecot user, executable for owner and group and gave it to the group postfix handles aliases deliveries with, e.g.: ---s--x--- 1 dovecotu mail 21024 Oct 19 14:26 /usr/local/bin/safecat

Actually it depends. I've found in dovecot 1.0 and 1.1, if you have a dovecot-shared file in the public folder, it forces private flags such as read. The wiki has some information about dovecot-shared.
