hi,

i red several hours a lot of documentation (wiki, Blogs, lists ...) how to get public folders. Under cyrus it is very easy. Create a mbox on the top with cyradm and some acls. Nothing more ... All i want is:

public/info public/group/internal public/foo public/foo/bla

on info, everybody can read on group/internal - only group has full access to internal public/foo/bla - read write for everyone

The flags (seen, ...) is stored for all.

The wiki entries are to old or mixing several things and are not clear, what I should do, to get it working.

my config:

dovecot.conf

mail_location = maildir:/imap/domain/%1n/%n:INDEX=/imap/indexes/domain/% 1n/%n

namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes }

#namespace shared { # separator = / # prefix = shared/%%u/ # location = maildir:/imap/shared/domain/%1n/% n:INDEX=mbox:/imap/shared/domain/%1n/%n # subscriptions = no # list = yes #}

namespace public { separator = / prefix = public/ location = maildir:/imap/shared/domain subscriptions = no list = yes }

mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail mail_privileged_group = vmail

protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/ mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_idle_notify_interval = 120 fsync_disable = yes mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle netscape-eoh }

plugin {

acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/imap/rbg/acl/shared-mailboxes.db acl = vfile:/imap/rbg/acl/dovecot-acls }

I wasn't able to use under plugins imap_acl, cause of errors:

open(/usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap//lib02_imap_acl_plugin.so) failed: ld.so.1: imap: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap//lib02_imap_acl_plugin.so: symbol acl_mailbox_right_lookup: referenced symbol not found Couldn't load required plugins Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/dovecot/1.2.11/etc/dovecot.conf

System is Solaris10, build by my self with Sieve Patches.

After changing to "acl" only, DoveCot starts.

So, i can see in Roundcube (webmail) the folder Public (or shared, from the above example) but nothing more. Do i need symlinks, or what I have to do after create the folder + permissions?
