cant see all users - need to create symlink between mailboxes [request for help] - dovecot

20 Apr 2015

      Hi,
I need to create a symlink to share mailboxes.
I tried to check at : cd /var/mail/ but I cant see all the mailboxes.
Could someone advise how to do this?
I am trying to achieve as showing in tutorial here:-
http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks
Below is the details of my dovecot.conf
Appreciate if anyone can help.
