[Dovecot] INBOX of a shared namespace appears to be always subscribed
In dovecot 1.2.10 I run into the following problem: Our users are
entitled to share their personal mailboxes. This works. But if user A
shares any of its mailboxes with user B, then dovecot always reports
the INBOX of user A as subscribed by user B. No matter whether user B
really subscribed the INBOX of A, or whether user A permitted user B
the access to its INBOX. The problem is caused by the repeated call of
LSUB. Starting with the second call LSUB always shows INBOX as
subscribed.
To reproduce: -> telnet imap.xx.yy 143 1 LOGIN user password 2 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/folderXX 3 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/INBOX shared/UserB/folderXX 4 LSUB "" shared/* => shows shared/UserB/INBOX shared/UserB/folderXX
Regards, Holger
I've repeated the tests with LSUB "" *. I think there's a problem with setting the namespace prefix.
telnet imap.xx.yy 143 1 LOGIN user password 2 LSUB "" * => shows INBOX Sent Trash folderAA shared/UserB/folderXX 3 LSUB "" * => shows shared/UserB/INBOX shared/UserB/folderXX Sent Trash folderAA 4 LSUB "" * => shows shared/UserB/INBOX shared/UserB/folderXX Sent Trash folderAA
This behavior is reproducable. Please note that the mailboxes of the shared namespace are listed first and the own inbox of the user disappears.

Before I'll test further.. What do your namespace settings look like in dovecot -n output?

Here's the relevant extract of the output of dovecot -n:

I should mention another amazing fact. The LIST "" * command shows all mailboxes in all namespaces for which the user has the l(ist) permission but the INBOXES of other users are never listed. But the myrights command shows that the ACLs are correct.

Well, I'll try to reproduce it, but a few things could be changed anyway:
namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: maildir:/srv/mail.neu/dirs/%%u:INDEX=/srv/mail.neu/meta/%u/shared/%%u/index:CONTROL=/srv/mail.neu/meta/%u/shared/%%u/control list: children
With this setup IMAP keywords (=labels/custom flags) will be messed up. CONTROL should point to the user's directory. Then also set subscriptions=no so subscriptions will be saved to user's primary subscriptions file.
namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Mailarchiv/ location: maildir:/srv/mail.neu/dirs/archive:INDEX=/srv/mail.neu/meta/%u/archive/index:CONTROL=/srv/mail.neu/meta/archive/control hidden: yes list: children
Similar problem here, unless you intended to force users to be subscribed to same public mailboxes (which is what this currently does).
namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: public/ location: maildir:/srv/mail.neu/dirs/public:INDEX=/srv/mail.neu/meta/%u/public/index:CONTROL=/srv/mail.neu/meta/public/control list: yes
Same as above.
There was an other problem. I forgot to remove the .INBOX
subdirectories. They were a rudiment of earlier tests. Well, I've
removed them, and the original problem is resolved. But now I run into
another trouble. The users cannot subscribe to the inboxes other
users. The inbox paths in the shared namespace point to the namespace
prefixes of the users' shared namespace. And they are marked with the
\Noselect flag. Thus the inboxes are unaccessible via the shared
namespace.
BTW, I've set subscriptions=no in the config file, dovecot -n lists
the subscription parameter only if it was set to yes.
