I've been trying to research how to (or if possible at all) implement public folders using the namespace feature on a server with multiple virtual domains. After about an hour of looking around I'm a little confused. :)

Did you read this? http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes

I now added a link there from ACL page.

Thanks Timo! That's pretty helpful. I think I'm still missing something though. I have the following configuration:

namespace public { separator = . prefix = Public Folders. location = maildir:/var/mailstore/shared-folders/%d/Maildir }

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

With this, "Public Folders" shows up (testing with Thunderbird) but not as an italic special folder (does that make sense?) as it does on all other accounts I have on other servers which support public folders. I created a folder here:

/var/mailstore/shared-folders/domain.com/Maildir/.Announcements

which also shows up nicely, I can copy email in there and subscribe and unsubsribe to this subfolder, but clicking on "Public Folders" gives: Mailbox doesn't exist: Public Folders. which I'm sure is because I've missed or misunderstood something :) Any ideas?

Cheers!

Ok, I'm a dumb ass. If I would actually use my eyes I would see:

"Another problem is that although the namespace prefix shows up as a normal looking mailbox, Dovecot doesn't allow subscribing to it because it's not a real mailbox. This will be fixed in later versions."

on the wiki page. Nevermind me :) I assume this hasn't been fixed yet?
